'stint' is the definition.
(I know that stint can be written as scrimp)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scrimp that I've seen before include "Subsist on a meagre allowance; be thrifty" , "Keep short" , "Economise, be thrifty" , "Do or spend less than is needed" , "Be niggardly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
