spaving

Spending to Save. With many discount cards at supermarkets, credit card discounts, and bulk warehouse stores like Sams Club, you can only reap the benefits, namely saving, by spending.

I spaved all day at the mall and walked away with an entire fall waredrobe for 50% off retail

Spaving

Saving and spending at the same time.

Jody loves shopping at thrift stores, garage sales and liquidation sales because he loves spaving.

saving a rough draft

When you are in the middle of urinating, and decide you might have to take a shit soon, so you don't flush the toilet right away. Saving a rough draft can be out of a sincere desire to conserve water, or just out of sheer laziness.

Dude, why didn't you flush?
Oh, sorry about that. I was saving a rough draft.
