God bless the man who speaks the unvarnished truth.

Actually, there is a distinction that should be made regarding this. The person who is cheap is one who is stingy - one who will not spend money even for necessities. OTOH the person who is frugal has a sense of value and seeks to maximize that value (getting his money's worth) and eliminate being wasteful.
