mingy

Reluctant to share

Mingy means stingy or miserly—unwilling to spend money or share resources: Don't be so mingy with the wine.

The word can also describe something meager or inadequate: a mingy portion of chips.

Chiefly British, it carries a tone of mild contempt for cheapness or insufficiency.
