He is such a cheapskate ...

A cheapskate is someone that's really stingy. 吝啬的人。

For example: Tom invited everyone over for BBQ on the weekend, but he asked everyone to bring their own meat. What a cheapskate!

开玩笑的意思，以前我们公司有个我的好朋友，只要是她给公司买东西，都会挑最便宜的买，想要帮公司省钱。我每次都笑她是cheapskate

This is not rude. But it's definitely not a compliment. However you can also use it in half joking sort of way. Like "You are such a cheapskate..."

That's why they call Tuesday as "Cheapskate Tuesday", everything seems to be cheap on Tuesday.

Movies, Petrol, Pizza, Pub, any more you can think of?

but why pick Tuesday?

I always "intentionally" left my wallet in office when I invited Gandu for a cuppa. hehehe

What if Gandu doesn't have money with him either??

both Gandu and PLM can work as a  "dishwasher" to repay.

Cheapskate is common in Australia too. More so than stingy.

Stingy is too formal and derogative and not often used in jokes.
