It's okay to be called cheap once in a while as long as you're doing it right. After all, saving money is a great thing, and nobody should try to convince you otherwise.
There are limits, though, to the ways and methods of being cheap. Don't go overboard, and please don't cheapen the term "cheap" any further.
