Do you think you’re cheap? Or know someone who is? Well, unless you’ve brought supermarket cheese samples on a date, they may not be when compared to The Cheapest Man in the Room.

Ross Carter lives a normal life … for a guy on a budget. Some people call him thrifty, or economical, or even a money saver – Ross is all of those and more. He is surrounded by hilarious people, including his cheap old mentor Harold, his all-knowing roommate Dwayne, and the glamorous lady at the Country Time Senior Center – Geena. Life is good for Ross and his coupons, 2 for 1 sales, and free car washes, but that all changes when he meets the lovely Jenny Shree, an intelligent young woman and world traveler. Jenny is not impressed with Ross’s cheap ways – which includes bringing a bag of old wine to a date – and she challenges Ross on his cheapness.

This is a fun short film that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Stealing public toilet paper, and then splitting them from 2-ply to singly-ply in order to make it last longer? Nah… I can’t give up my Charmin Ultra. 🙂 Found via Guzzo.

  1. I love my Charmin Ultra too. So soft……..

  2. My wife thought I was smart when I used a coupon for our $8 meal at iHop. I was just as cheap when she was still my girlfriend. That’s how we’ll become millionaires before our 40’s.

  3. Love that movie. I wish it would have ended with him being a millionaire! ha

  4. Cute! Be sure to watch the credits at the end.

  5. This was just awful.

  6. Oh gag me already.

  8. That was funny!

  9. lol, funny. Love the credits.

    Excellent cinematography. Great plot and kinda funny. Makes me kinda feel bad about the toliet paper, I take the spares from my hotel stays. Lol, i take extra forks and ketchup at fast food places. Odd thing is my girlfriend told me the same, that it was tabboo to use a coupon on the first date, I never have, but wouldn’t think twice about it. Some old habits I suppose. I guess odd budgeting is ok in moderation, even if some of it is extreme. Other side of the coin is that I do travel alot and love Inifinti cars (used of course).

    Great Video. The ways to save money are so true!! I love the picnic and all the cheep stuff he has. My question is; when does saving money become “cool” in a relationship? They have a good point about him trying to achieve a goal of a million dollars by saving every Pennie. There is that saying: Pinch the pennies, but spend the dollars. Kinda true that it’s the big items, not the little stuff here and there to have a good time.
    Although saving money tactics can be a hobby its important to not let it get out of control so other people think your a Pennie pincher. I love the splitting the toilet paper, the spork from wendies and cheese cubes. I have always been a fan of filling up my ketchup bottle at a burger joint with squeeze ketch up, and filling up my cooler with ice at a open soda machines ice station! The car wash scene at the end of the film makes no relevant “cents” to the rest of the video.
