Stingy vs Frugal

"Frugality can be, and often is, a virtue. It implies you're being careful, not wasteful, with your resources.
Stinginess is a vice, and it carries a whiff of meanness. The word "implies a marked lack of generosity"

If you use 2-for-1 coupons at a restaurant, you might be frugal. If you base your server's tip on the discounted bill, you're probably stingy.

Stinginess is always keeping the best for yourself and giving everyone else the scraps.

I would consider myself frugal. I would never buy $10/lb steaks for home, yet I will pick up the check at a steak restaurant when i'm with my close friends.

Are you Frugal or Stingy?
 
I'm frugal. I know stingy people though - "Stinginess is always keeping the best for yourself and giving everyone else the scraps" is a great characterization of them.
 
Stingy is what you are when you won't share with me. Frugal is what I am when I deny your arrogant request for some of mine.
