This saying means that you can gain the same by saving a certain amount as you would

gain by earning that amount. For example if you are paying $500 a month for rent and

you move to a place that rents for $450, then it is just as if you got a raise of $50.

( Due to income tax, a penny saved is actually something like 1.25 cents earned,

since there is no tax on saving. )

The origin of this phrase is from "Poor Richard's Proverbs." It was written by Benjamin Franklin under the pseudonym Richard Saunders.
