last of the big spenders
Sarcastic frugality label
Last of the big spenders is an ironic expression for someone who has just spent very little money, delivered as mock-admiration for their extravagance.
When someone tips poorly or buys the cheapest option, you might say: Wow, last of the big spenders over here.
