From the album In It for the Money (1997)

Supergrass never put "Cheapskate" out at home. Taken from In It for the Money, their second album, it came out in 1997 only in the United States and Canada, and even there it was just a seven-inch jukebox single paired with "Going Out". It still made it to number 35 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks and number 11 on Canada's RPM Alternative 30.
Gaz Coombes, Rob Coombes, Danny Goffey and Mick Quinn share the writing credit, and the band has named Kool & the Gang as an influence, which says plenty about where its strut comes from. There was a video too, though it got left off the Supergrass Is 10 DVD.
