"Close chewer and a tight spitter" = Người nhai thuốc lá thật kỹ để kìm nén nước bọt -> Người hà tiện, bủn xỉn và rất tiết kiệm.

Ví dụ
It goes even further because I think two people can afford to be such a close chewer and a tight spitter and very cheap with themselves, as long as they're okay with it.

Lucy lives a very frugal (tiết kiệm) lifestyle as a close chewer and a tight spitter — her income (thu nhập) is variable (biến đổi) from week to week. Despite this, her expenses (chi phí) amount to about $1,050 each week.

A few weeks ago, I read the story about Daniel, a 36-year-old lawyer who was living in a lifestyle as a close chewer and a tight spitter. He eats only rice and beans, lives in a small apartment (căn hộ nhỏ) in New Jersey, and buys his clothes from thrift (rất tiết kiệm, tằn tiện) shops. His goal was to retire early and he has saved up a six-figure retirement account and $400,000 in cash (tiền mặt).
