pennywise
Stingy on trifles
Pennywise means careful or thrifty with small amounts of money.
The word appears almost exclusively in the phrase penny-wise and pound-foolish, describing someone who economizes on trivial expenses while wasting money on larger ones—saving pennies but losing pounds.
The adjective captures a false economy, an attention to minor savings that misses the bigger picture.
