Scrooge types are people who are known for their extreme frugality and miserly behavior. The term 'SCROOGE' is derived from the character Ebenezer SCROOGE in Charles Dickens' novel A Christmas Carol. Two words that can be used to describe SCROOGE types are 'CHEAPSKATES' (11 letters) and 'misers' (6 letters). CHEAPSKATES are people who are extremely thrifty and try to get the most out of their money, while misers are people who hoard their money and are unwilling to spend it.
