Frugalcoholic

A heavy or habitual drinker who is cost-conscious, and thus seeks out beers, wines, spirits, and bars which have exceptional value -- not necessarily the absolute cheapest, but those with real qualitative and/or quantitative “bang for the buck”.

Wild Turkey 101 is good enough to drink neat yet cheap enough to mix, so it really appeals to the frugalcoholic in me …

On Monday night, Charlie’s Taphouse has half-off all draft beer, so all the frugalcoholics will be there.

You still wearing those ratty shoes you bought at the thrift shop. What a cheapskate.

You will never understand the philosophy of the frugalitarian.

That is my hope.

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.
