Jeff is the sixth episode of season one of the reality TV show Extreme Cheapskates. This episode focuses on Jeff Yeager, a 49-year-old author and self-proclaimed "ultimate cheapskate" who has made a name for himself by living on a shoestring budget.

The episode starts with Jeff sharing his philosophy on saving money, explaining that he believes in living frugally in order to retire early and "have the freedom to do whatever I want in life." He shows off his tiny, cluttered apartment, which he rents for only $300 per month, and boasts about his collection of freebies and thrift store finds.

Throughout the episode, Jeff demonstrates his extreme frugality in a number of ways. He takes a group of friends on a fishing trip, but refuses to buy any food or drink for the outing, insisting that they subsist on the fish they catch and the water they collect from a nearby spring. He also takes his girlfriend on a date to a fancy restaurant, but insists that they share a single entree and drink water so as to save money.

One of the standout moments of the episode comes when Jeff shows off his extreme couponing skills. He explains that he spends hours each week collecting and organizing coupons, and then goes to the grocery store to stock up on items that he has coupons for. He demonstrates how he is able to pay only $1.77 for a cart full of groceries that would normally cost over $100.

Another memorable moment comes when Jeff takes his girlfriend on a trip to Las Vegas. Rather than staying in a hotel on the strip, Jeff insists that they park their RV on the outskirts of town and sleep there each night. He also refuses to pay for any food or entertainment, instead living on a diet of canned tuna and water and spending his days exploring the free attractions of the city.

Throughout the episode, Jeff's friends and family express concern about his extreme frugality, with some worrying that he is missing out on the joys of life by focusing so much on saving money. Jeff, however, remains resolute in his beliefs, insisting that he is happy and fulfilled by his minimalist lifestyle and that he will retire early and travel the world thanks to his extreme savings habits.

Overall, Jeff is a fascinating look at the life of an extreme cheapskate, as well as an exploration of the philosophical reasons behind the desire to live frugally. While some viewers may find Jeff's extreme frugality off-putting, others will be inspired by his dedication to saving money and living a simple, fulfilling life.
