Spare: to save
spare + money, time or energy is "to save". Spare op is to put money aside, and redde is to save someone from danger.
| We save money when we cycle. | Vi sparer penge når vi cykler. |
Money is the most common thing to save.
| You can save an hour if you take the train. | Du kan spare en time hvis du tager toget. |
Time works the same way, with no preposition.
Ændring and effekt

An effect on something takes på.
