Thank you, Marina. I could not find that meaning in WordReference.

That's why I chose "husbandry" :.careful management of resources. ex: Her husbandry of the household budget was impressive.
she manages to get her food at a cheap price, she does a lot with the little money she has.
It doesn't seem possible to say "people praise her cheapness."

baratura= cheapness (calidad de barato, ganga)
