Prugal

Prugal means being both prudent and frugal. It's the art of planning for the future while pinching pennies, making sure you don't blow your budget on all-you-can-eat sushi, and then starve the rest of the month.
Dave decided to be prugal and cooked mac and cheese at home while Scott splurged on his trip to Milan for spaghetti. Dave laughed, saying, "Enjoy your gold-plated dessert, Scott. I'll be sipping piña coladas on my yacht in ten years!"
