@Toshiking: it can almost mean the same thing. If you are talking about a person who is stingy: it means that person doesn't like to share. (This person has a lot of food, but he doesn't want to share any food with you. Therefore, that person is stingy."
Cheap: if a person is cheap, he doesn't like to spend a lot of money.
He likes to buy cheap things. If it is your birthday and the person only spends $1.00 for your birthday gift, he is being cheap." Lol
