coupon clippers

Bargain-seeking savers

Coupon clippers are people who cut discount coupons from newspapers and mailings to save money on purchases.

The term can be mildly dismissive, suggesting excessive frugality: My grandmother was a dedicated coupon clipper.

In older financial usage, coupon clippers were wealthy bondholders who literally clipped interest coupons from bearer bonds to redeem them—passive investors living off their portfolios.
