economise
Cut your costs
Economise is the British spelling of economize, meaning to spend less or use resources more carefully.
You might economise on groceries during a tight month, or a company might economise by cutting staff.
The word implies deliberate restraint rather than mere cheapness: We'll have to economise until business picks up.
