Other ways to say

Save

Hi guys❗ I'm sure that you have ever saved 💰.  What are you saving 💰 for❓ Do you know other ways to say this word❓


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

💬
Husband: I'm going to a live match with the lads this weekend. 
Wife: Darling. We have to economize if we want to buy a 🆕 📺.

💬
Ted: I'll spend holidays with my sis in Lima. 
Tod: Nice❗ I'm visiting some friends there. What touristic attractions are you visiting❓
Ted: I've 👌+ed pennies to go to Caral.

💬
Rose: Lara, you have to tighten your belt. You've just spent a large amount of your salary.
Lara: Oh❗ 

 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 💰.
    Lara,  have to tighten your belt. 

I'm sure you have your own particular way to say 'save'. So, I challenge you to use one of the others. Do you accept the challenge❓
