Frugal

My word for today is frugal. This is an adjective and we use it to describe a person who conserves money, someone who doesn't waste money. The noun is frugality. As always, here are a few examples:
Although my boss is frugal, he'll spend money on training for our team.
"You should be more frugal! Then you wouldn't always be trying to borrow money!"
Yvonne's frugality was legendary; she only bought the things she really needed and nothing extra.
It's important to note that frugal is neutral, and can be positive depending on the context.
