Being a fellow cheapskate, I just have to agree.
I feel like a cheapskate.
Fred's freebie hookup was the only show in town, in the mind of the rich old cheapskate.
Dean wanted to add the cheapskate didn't even buy it—he swiped it from a dead hooker.
So, while both terms are used to describe how a person manages his or her money, a cheapskate is someone who takes frugality to the extreme.
