'''Angel:'''' Why, cost? The Ten commandments don't cost anything!\\
'''Jews:'''' What, they're free? Sure, we'll take all of them!

* The Literature/{{Discworld}} of Creator/AAPessimal has [[BadassIsraeli Rivka ben-Divorah]], who while[[Fanfic/GapYearAdventures touring abroad]], demonstrates she can do complex currency conversions in her head even before the other person has stopped speaking. As a klatchian friend remarks
-->You really don't do anything to dispel all the stereotypes people have got about Cenotians, do you?

Welsh people point at ''Cardis'' - people from West Wales.[[note]]Cardiganshire[[/note]]

* ''VideoGame/StrikeCommander'' plays this trope straight with Virgil Beetlebaum, [[TheSquad]]'s accountant, who [[JewishComplaining complains constantly]] about every single financial decision, and literally [[GameplayAndStorySegregation cannot be pleased no matter how much money you make]]. {{Subverted}} in that Virgil is ultimately a sympathetic character who has an incredibly difficult job keeping the Wildcats afloat with all of the overhead.

[[DescribeTopicHere Describe All Jews Are Cheapskates Here. It's free, after all.]]

In Great Britain, this trope is less common, since Jews are a much smaller and less [[YouHaveToHaveJews culturally-represented]] minority, and their economical niche is [[ThriftyScot filled by Scotsmen]], a never-failing source of British ethnic jokes. Yorkshiremen also have this reputation, especially among [[OopNorth other Northerners]].

* When ''Podcast/ChapoTrapHouse'' reviewed [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary%27s_America:_The_Secret_History_of_the_Democratic_Party a documentary by Dinesh D'Souza]], they observed that the film's demonization of Saul Alinsky (known for writing the book ''Rules For Radicals'') seemed to rely on this stereotype rather than the usual right-wing methods of smearing him as a nefarious lefty demagogue.

** They even go UpToEleven and pull this on Jesus, where he delivers an Aesop on religion. Peter asks Jesus to prove he's Jewish by calculating an appropriate tip on a $180 bill.

* In a ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' skit where [=Seth McFarlane=] has the power to setup {{Cutaway Gag}}s, he brings up the idea of ''Scooby Jew''. Cut to a stereotypically-dressed Scooby haggling over Scooby snacks in exchange for going into a haunted house.

* One character on ''Series/TheYoungOnes'' (played by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Brown_%28comedian%29 Arnold Brown]]) plays with this trope by describing himself as being "Scottish and Jewish -- two racial stereotypes for the price of one!" Works on multiple levels because in the UK the Scots are also commonly stereotyped as being cheapskates, and two of anything for the price of one would therefore appeal to them, too.

In modern times, thriftiness is often a trait associated with East Asians, especially the Chinese. Though [[AluminiumChristmasTrees there are literal Asian Jews, such as the Chinese Kaifeng Jews]], this stereotype is rarely used except as a joke.[[note]]Curiously, those Chinese who have heard of Jews at all will often hold this opinion about them, but also consider it a ''positive'' trait![[/note]] Also, the Cold War-era generation of people from the former Eastern Bloc, no matter what ethnicity, is stereotyped this way by the younger, more Westernized generation, [[InsultBackfire to which they agree with pride]] [[JustifiedTrope as this lifestyle enabled them to survive in the times of mass poverty and low living standards]], and chastise younger people for their consumerism.
In Israel, where [[CaptainObvious most people are jews]], the stereotype is applied to Persian and Yemeni Jews.

** Jack Benny is kind of an unusual example of this, as while his persona is a perfect example of this trope, that persona wasn't explicitly Jewish and was more of a WASP if anything. Thus, his being a Jewish stereotype/being played by a Jewish actor is sort of {{subtext}}. Also, in real life, Benny was a massive subversion of the trope, being generous to a fault.

** In "Two Days Before the Day after Tomorrow", Cartman at one point demands the small sack of gold from Kyle that he states all Jews carry. Kyle actually does carry gold on him. Not only that, but he carries a bag of fake gold just in case someone tries to take the gold. When Cartman calls him out on this, Kyle looks like he's about to surrender the real gold... only for him to toss it away, making sure Cartman can never have it.

* Ross Geller from ''Series/{{Friends}}'' frequently. Rarely includes his sister, Monica, such as in "The One Where Rosita Dies" where Phoebe Buffay refers to the Geller siblings as "the worst tippers in the world" after having them as massage clients.
