The word "skimp," a verb, means to be stingy or overly sparing, materially or otherwise, often in an effort to be thrifty or frugal. To skimp can also mean to be careless in one's work or survive with very limited means. One example of this word properly used in a sentence would be, "Ever since the price of meat has gone up, he has tended to skimp on portion sizes to try to increase his profits." Another example would be, "She skimps on her homework assignments to ensure she gets enough sleep for the next day's work."
