Cheeseparer (5)
I believe the answer is:
miser
'cheeseparer' is the definition.
(both can mean someone ungenerous with money)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for miser that I've seen before include "Stingy type" , "Mean individual" , "Stingy person like Scrooge" , "not a spendthrift" , "One doesn't like to give" .)
