I dont think the question was ´are you saying İ´m stingy

But: And you say that I am stingy meaning the asker for translation means that the receiver of the message is stingy him/herself.

Thats why İ wrote:

Sen de benim cimri olduğumu söylüyorsun ?!

Or maybe it would be more clear to say:

 

Sen de cimri olanı ben olduğumu söylüyorsun.

And you say that I am the one who is stingy.

 

Who helps out ?

We have to know what OP was really trying to say:

 

case 1:Simply asking what that person tries to say.

Are you trying to say that I am stingy? = "Benim cimri olduğumu mu söylemeye çalışıyorsun?"

 

case 2:

Person A has accused person B for being stingy in the past. When A does something stingy himself, B strikes back.

 

"and you say that I´m stingy?" (look at yourself, you are more stingy)

= Bir de bana mı cimri diyorsun?, Bir de benim cimri olduğumu söylersin, Bir de bana cimri dersin etc., I am sure there are more & better ways to tell the same thing.
