frugalista

The latest and possibly most irritating in a series of Great Recession-era portmanteau. Also, a great reason never to buy clothes at Target.

Janice, Michele, and Kate are all frugalistas that have one thing in common: they wear bright orange pleather skorts and hi-five the mailman. They are also all dead inside.

super-careful, frugalistic, extra-tally-conscious

What Mary Poppins has to be whenever money is tight.

The movie got it all wrong --- the Banks family had not been having trouble with mean/colorless nannies; the nannies had all just been over-indulgent of the children, and so Mr. Banks hired Mary Poppins to teach his little ones about self-denial, willpower, and wise money-management --- Mary taught them to be "super-careful, frugalistic, extra-tally-conscious" when necessary.
