frugalista
Chic budget maven
A frugalista is someone who lives stylishly on a budget, combining thrift with fashion sense.
The word blends frugal with fashionista, suggesting someone who hunts bargains, thrifts, and stretches money without sacrificing appearance: As a frugalista, she never pays full price but always looks put-together.
The term emerged during economic downturns when budget-consciousness became trendy rather than shameful.
