scrimpers
Those who economize
Scrimpers are people who scrimp—who spend as little as possible, often cutting corners or doing without.
The word carries a slight tone of judgment, suggesting excessive frugality: The scrimpers in accounting rejected our budget request.
Someone called a scrimper prioritizes saving over comfort or generosity.
