Mon 1st livre depuis mon Leaving Cert, je commence a lire - "Le tour du monde en 80 days."
<What I hopefully mean to say, was I am starting to revise my own French; done many, many years ago for my LC. Reading Verne's work doesn't have me looking up a dictionary every page

Les Jules Verne sont une très bonne idée, ils sont lisibles par des enfants de 10-12 ans, de plus ils sont disponible gratuitement (gratos!) sur le web:

I understood your message which saved me money! Hurrah!
...J'ai compris votre message qui m'a sauvé argent! Er...hurrah!
(Is sauvé the right form of 'save' there?)0 -

It's the right form but you wouldn't use that verb with money in French."save"
a/sauver (save from destruction)
Marc m'a sauvé la vie.
b/garder (to keep)
Nous avons gardé quelques fruits pour nos amis.
c/faire des économies (to save money)
Paul a fait des économies pour s'acheter une auto.
Economisez votre argent au lieu de le dépenser inutilement.
d/mettre de côté (put aside for later use)
Je mettrai mes notes de côté, elles pourront vous être utiles plus tard.
From this site: http://www.colby.edu/personal/a/ampaliye/FR231/difficultes.html
There are many more examples of differences like that between French and English on that page that might be of interest.
So, to answer your question, you could say "tu m'as fait économiser".
Oh and "hourra" is "hurray"!0 -
