Now, and habits. économise covers both "I save (money)" and "I am save (money)ing" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and économisé does not — ai économisé.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so économisons gives you économisais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; économiser never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on économiser-, which is just the infinitive, so only the endings are new.
What this table tells you about économiser
The past participle is économisé, and it takes avoir in the passé composé — so it never changes shape, whoever the subject is. No agreement to remember here.
The futur simple is built on économiser-, which is just the infinitive — the endings are the whole story, nothing new to learn for this tense.
In both the present and the imparfait, je, tu, il/elle and ils/elles are one sound: économise, économises, économisent — indistinguishable spoken. Only nous and vous carry an audible ending.
The imparfait is built on the nous-present stem, so once you know économisons you already know économisais, économisait and économisaient. Futur proche keeps économiser untouched.
