May not be the cheapest but I have a bunch of female acquaintances on FB who have a lot of money. Well, they spend their husband's money.
Every couple of months I'll see them doing a "closet clean out" for themselves or their kids. Selling old shite for low costs which I assume will go towards their $9.00 wine purchases.
I always get a bit of red arse because most of the items could easily be donated to a church clothes closet or a shelter. Something. Anyone else see this?

Return half of a “yellow meat “ watermelon because it wasn’t pink. They got a full refund by the store manager.

Order a hot water and use their own tea bags at a restaurant to save on buying a drink from there.

I thought this said 'What's the cheapest way you've ever seen a wealthy person die?'
I'm disappointed.

I knew an old maid school teacher that was a neighbor.She lived in house with no running water or bathroom.Her brother hauled water to her house in milk jugs.She didn’t even have an outhouse,would go in the woods or use a pot at night.She had electricity for refrigerator and deep freezer but she wouldn’t turn on her lights,didn’t own a fan.
Her family said she starved herself to death,said she had photographic memory for prices.If grocery store raised the price or cut the package size she wouldn’t buy it anymore.
She died at 82 and left her neices and nephews 4 million dollars,none of them needed it.

Hang on to random things. For example, if they buy something and it comes with assembly instructions and extra parts (washers, nuts, even cheap tools), they will keep those. Not quite hoarding, but definitely a knack for finding value in things that other people don't, even if it's something they don't immediately need.
That same person is worth about $6 million that I know about and still drives a 14 year old Chevy pickup with about 250,000 miles on it.....and does his own maintenance while wearing one of his many pairs of Wal Mart jeans and Carhart shirts.
His wife and kids all have fancy new cars and very nice clothes though.

My 75+ year old parents. I gave them a cell phone that I pay for so that they will have in case of an emergency but they never use it.

I work with a cool lady (she makes over 6 figures which used to sound impressive but not so much today say probably $150,000) - her husband does day trading and other crap. I think he’s a real estate agent on the side.
Dude wears a ladies old model Rolex - I’ve never asked him about it. First time I met him he stated “I have small wrists”. Uhhh ok

I know someone worth well over $20 mil whose wife refused to fly to Europe anymore in economy. So he bought her a first class ticket. He bought himself an economy...sure it wasn’t a cheap upgrade, but going on vacation and not sitting together is pretty absurd.

One of the richest men in St Martin parish used to go to a card game at one of the bars in Breaux Bridge. Everyone would put up 5 dollars for supper that would be cooked that night, except for him, he would pack a single bologna sandwich in a brown paper bag, and the cheap bastard would save the paper bag to use the next week.

Frugal and cheap are entirely different things.
Sam Walton drove an old pickup into the ground. That is someone who is frugal and is in no way pretentious. Nothing at all wrong with that. In fact, I respect the hell out of it.
Tipping a dollar on a sixty dollar tab it cheap and self centered. No respect from me.

The coach seat to Europe can be much less than $1,000 while a first class ticket on the same flight can be $8,000 or more. For an 8 hour flight, it's hard to justify the difference. After all, would you pay 7 grand for free drinks and airplane food served on china? I won't.
Now, business class to Asia is sometimes worth it due to the fold flat seating but never first class unless bumped up.

Saw a big time banker that i hadn't seen in a while at a Mexican restaurant for lunch about a month ago. It was $1 taco Tuesday and he came in alone, ordered two tacos and water, filled up on C&S, had his tacos, paid his $2 bill (I assume plus 15%) and was good to go.
