This clue might be a double definition.

'but not too mean' is the first definition.
'tight' can be an answer for 'mean' (both can mean miserly). I'm unsure of the 'but not too' bit.

(slang term)

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tight that I've seen before include "Taut" , "lack of money" , "Tense; secretive" , "Bottled ," , "Drunk - under control" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
