A metaphore for saving money while physically suffering from cold, heat, hunger, pain, etc. while the end goal for saving money is not worth it.
This metaphore can also be used to describe the act of not wanting to buy a tool, gadget, etc. that would make the job significantly easier.
This metaphore cannot be applied to those that cannot afford to spend money. For example, a college student that eats a meal rejected by ethiopians just to save money for books, rent, etc.

"I don't use the AC (of the car) because it uses more gas. I could use that money to buy a coffee."
Here the person suffers from heat, just to have that small pleasure to drink a coffee.
So next time a person says anything of this sort, just say "Stop eating from under your ass".
Other examples of people that eat from under their ass:
- A person that has the possibility to go to the dentist in their own country, but chooses to suffer for months until he/she has time to go to another country for a more affordable dental care, even though this person can totally afford the dental care in his/her country.
- A person that does not want to use a heater to heat their bathroom, thus choosing to suffer from cold to save a bit on electricity, an electricity bill that they could afford to pay anyway.
- A truck driver that does not use any kind of GPS, because GPS is for pussies, thus choosing more hard ways to get to his destination. Finding his destination will require to look at physical maps, to ask people at gas stations and/or calling other people to ask for directions. All these actions may give the driver some level of stress.
- A guy that eats milk and cereal so he has money for gas to drive his 5th hand 2003 BMW M5 on the weekends, at the end week he doesn't even have money to buy a deodorant.

Get the Eating from under your ass mug.A tent made out of stolen underpants taken from a crushes’ dirty laundry basket, created for the purpose of engaging in creepy behaviors.
“No, I don’t think I’m particularly creepy for watching bae’s live feed in my unders tent. The fact that I’m munching on her shedded eyelashes might push me over into creepster, though.

Get the Dinner under the bridge mug.Where you **swear** to tell the truth.
Confused social-studies student: I was always under the impression that you're supposed to be polite and respectful whenever you in a court of law, not lace your language with profanity --- why should anyone be compelled to "swear" to tell the truth when he agrees to "testify under oath"???

Get the National grab under pants day mug.(V.) Originating from being able to pass someone when driving, even if you slowed down to 5 mph under the speed limit. Has since evolved to mean "to pass someone with ease"
These morning joggers are so slow, I could five under them any time I wanted.
I only got my promotion because everyone else is so stupid or lazy that I five undered them.
