Mary Elinor Baumgart Sauerwein (January 10, 1914 - October 30, 2010) was an American philanthropist who was known for living a frugal life yet was able to leave a check for $1,731,533.91 from her estate to a California branch of the Salvation Army after her death. Taught by her mother to avoid wasting anything, she never purchased a dryer, painted her own home, mowed her own lawn, refused to go to restaurants or movies, grew her own fruits and vegetables in her meager backyard, and refused to pay for cable TV until the age of 95.
