"Saved Money"

Hello Everybody!

When I say "I saved my money when I bought my cell phone."
Does "saved money" means the economy of {better: economizing} money?


The sentence ""I saved (my) money when I bought my cell phone." actually implies that you received a discount at the time that you purchased your phone.


To say that you economized to save ("build up", accumulate) the money needed to buy the phone, you would say "I saved my money to buy my cell phone."
