skinflints
Tightwads with money
Skinflints are people who are extremely reluctant to spend money—misers who would, as the word suggests, skin a flint to save a penny.
The term is mildly contemptuous: Those skinflints wouldn't even chip in for a birthday card.
Someone called a skinflint isn't just frugal but unpleasantly stingy.
