How common is the idiom 'pinch pennies'? Are these examples I've written okay?
1. Having just established his own law firm, John has to pinch pennies for a few years until his firm begins to generate profits.
2. You should learn from your cousin. She has been able to save money for a down payment on a house by pinching pennies. For example, she never eats out.
3. He's not the type of person who would take risks and make huge investments. He has been pinching pennies all his life and now he can finally buy his own store in downtown.
4. Her grandfather had a reputation for being a penny-pincher. She too is very careful with money.
5. Pinching pennies is par for the course in her family. Even though they are rich, they diligently save every penny.
6. I can never understand why Jack is such a successful contractor. He always pinches pennies in every project and some even say he cuts corners.
7. He had been pinching pennies for several years, but one day he impulsively blew all of his savings on a Ferrari.
