Question

What is a nickel and dime person mean?

Answer 1

It's usually used to describe someone cheap or when someone is trying to acquire a large amount of money from you, but in tiny amounts, and when someone annoys people because they are overly obsessive about insignificant matters.

Answer 2

A nickle &  dime person is some one who is cheap and likes to sponge off someone else.  He isn't worth i.e. not worth a dime.  Stay away===stay far away!!!

Answer 3

it means the person is worth 15 cents

Answer 4

When someone is "nickle and diming you to death"... they are hitting you with extra little fees or fines or charges. Usually at the rate of 5 or 10 % (hence knickel and dime)

An example is: a contractor doing work in your home who gave you an estimate of $5000 dollars.  THEN that person starts to tack on "extras"... $50 dollars for extra parts, $400 for preparation work that hadn't been discussed, $300 for removal of debris, $200 for overtime, $150 for more "unexpected" parts, another $250 for paint, etc...

Hope that helps

Answer 7

This is the definition of miser or a person who counts every cent. They watch pennies, and are aware of their spending. The other definition is a retail store that has a good price on an item, but will pick up the money in other services that are attached. Example: A refrigerator cost $995.00 regularly but is on sale for $850.00 with installation only. The charge for the installation is where the money is picked up.
