Someone who is quite mean when it comes to spending their money is referred to as being, "As tight as a fishes arse" in my neck of the woods. (Newcastle) Similarly, "He could peel an orange in his pocket."
       Someone lacking refinement or manners can also be labelled as being, "As rough as a badger's arse."
