I think it's more from popular advertising than anything else. The whole "save money on our n-day sale" stuff, which when loosely translated to English means, "temporarily pay less for our junk". From that, we get the whole "saving=paying less=making money" as opposed to "saving=accumulating money for some purpose". At least IMO.
