penny-pinchers
Extremely thrifty people
Penny-pinchers are people who are excessively careful with money, unwilling to spend even small amounts.
The term carries mild disapproval, suggesting stinginess rather than sensible frugality: The penny-pinchers in accounting rejected our request for new office chairs.
