savings
- 1Plural of saving.

Buying in bulk can produce considerable savings for a large family.
Note
The plural carries two meanings, and the surrounding words tell them apart. When it counts reductions in cost, as with a new heating system or buying in bulk, it has an ordinary singular: a considerable saving. When it means money set aside for the future (life savings, personal savings, bank savings), the plural is the normal form, and learners should keep it plural: her savings, not her saving.
She spent her life savings on a small house by the sea.
They kept their savings in a high-interest account.
