Well, the title pretty much says it all.

A Sparmeister (noun), briefly speaking, is

a person who is concerned about his finances and tries to avoid
spending money whenever possible.

a person who always tries to get the best (lowest) price on things.

I would consider this word neutral, rather than offensive or complimentary.

The context for which I need this word is gonna be a sentence similar to this:

Looks like you are quite the "Sparmeister", you only spent –insert low
amount of money here–.

Is there any better wording for "Sparmeister"?

If you're looking for a neutral word which doesn't carry value judgements, try "frugal".

If you want a word with fairly positive connotations, try "economical" or thrifty (noun: saver; note: spendthrift is a noun, but it has the opposite meaning to thrifty).

If you want a word with negative connotations, try "cheap" (nouns: skinflint, miser, cheapo).
