  • Not much.
  • For me, it's just that 'economizing' is a higher register word than 'thrift'.
  • Also for me, 'economizing' means saving more money than 'thrift' suggests.
  • An example that I would call 'economizing' is planning meals for a week or two in a way that would use less expensive cuts of meat, and using very inexpensive foods which can easily make the family feel that they have eaten enough.
