Let us always observe the golden rules of Concorde in supplying answers. One might be deceived into choosing cheapness because it falls into the same class of abstract nouns as extravagance. So, for economical (adjective) to be correct, then the main word should be extravagant (adjective) and not EXTRAVAGANCE (abstract noun).

Extravagance is a noun and so its synonym needs to be a noun.

Extravagance means an inclination towards spending more, wasting money.
Economical means you are always thinking of spending money more carefully, inclined more towards saving money or resources.
So in this way, these two words are different in defining the attitude of the person.
