More miserly, meaner (8)

I believe the answer is:

stingier

This clue is a double definition.

'more miserly' is the first definition.
('stingy' can be similar in meaning to 'miserly')

'meaner' is the second definition.
('stingy' can be similar in meaning to 'mean')

(Another definition for stingier that I've seen is " Less generous, meaner".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
