In the following conversations, you can find ❸ of them. Try to guess the differences between them.

 Did you guess the difference between the previous ways to say save❓ Well; if you are 😕, don´t 😟. Let´s see their meanings and other ones' meanings 😉.

Budget
If 👨👩 budget, they plan to spend an amount of 💰 for a particular purpose.
    If you budget carefully, you will be able to buy a new 🚙.

Economize
This verb is used for referring to use less 💰, ⏳, etc. than normally is used.
    We have to economize if we want to buy a new 📺.

 Save up
This phrasal verb means, in this context, the same as save. 👨👩 use it for saying that they keep 💰 instead of spending it.
    I'm saving up to move in.

Pinch pennies
If you've followed the EnglishWithAneu SNS (Social Networking Sites) -such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram- you know what it means. Use the idiom 'pinch pennies' to refer to spend a little less 💰 as possible. Some 👨👩 say 'pinch and scrape' to mean the same.
   I've 👌+ed pennies to go to Caral.
*Caral is the most ancient city in America located in Lima, Peru.

Tighten sb's belt
You can use this informal expression to say that you spend less 💰.
