Technically yes, however being "cheap" has more negative connotations associated with it. Thrifty is more about "being careful" with money and using it wisely, whereas being "cheap" sometimes goes beyond just thrifty. However it's a subjective thing; one persons' "thrifty" is another persons' "cheap".
