Summary

Today’s English expression and dialog: to be chintzy I’ll give you 50 cents each time you take out the garbage. What?! Don’t be so chintzy, dad! Whoa! My dad gave me 50 cents, so I’m giving you 50 cents. Dad, that was like 50 years ago!! Even when I have a little money to spend, I many times HATE to spend it. At the supermarket, there's two pieces of beef. One is "Top grade" is is $8, the other is "Regular" and is $4. I buy the cheap one. At the gas station, I always buy the cheapest gas. I keep my house temperature set at 18 degrees Celsius when it's really cold outside...to save money. Those aren't bad things, right??? Well, they are a bit severe. And it in these situations, you would want to call me TODAY'S EXPRESSION! Learn it, master it and use it!!Have a super day,Coach Shane Subscribe on iTunes and get this English podcast EVERY DAY!
