 |  |  |  | 你好李孔先生 Hello lee kong, I found  节约 means economize, save To check it I always look for it in google and I found this http://www.jieyue.net/, a Chinese site about saving?
 If you look for pictures with 节约, then indeed you will find pictures concerning saving.
 [节 means to knot, join 约 means to make an apointment, so to make a apointment to tie a knot in your pocket as to save money hahahaha)
 Hope this answers your question. 我在词典里找到“节约”的意思是留存[保持]钱,不耗费钱。
 如果你在谷歌(GOOGLE)找关于“节约”你可以
 猜“节约”的意思。
 (要是我写错了你得名字,抱歉我)

I was told by some Chinese friends that this means to “waste food”, I was confused by that, I also first thought that it means to save food for later maybe. |  |  |
