Cheeseparing (6)

I believe the answer is:

stingy

'cheeseparing' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for stingy that I've seen before include "Tight-fisted, like 25 and 22 Across" , "Close" , "Mean and grudging" , "near" , "Mean, niggardly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
