save-all
Miserly, hoarding everything
Save-all is a general term for any device or contrivance designed to prevent waste or loss.
Historically it referred to a small pan or holder placed beneath a candle to catch dripping wax and allow the stub to burn completely.
The term extends to various nautical uses, including a net or canvas spread beneath cargo being loaded to catch anything dropped, or a small sail set to catch light winds.
In industrial contexts, it may designate equipment that recovers usable material from waste streams.
