savers
Those who economize
Savers is the plural of saver—people or things that save.
A saver may be someone who saves money rather than spending it: She's always been a saver, not a spender.
It also describes devices or practices that conserve resources: energy savers, time savers, space savers.
Screen savers prevent monitor burn-in.
Life savers rescue people from drowning—or, figuratively, from any difficult situation.
