The meals in this restaurant are really expensive. In the end, the bill was R$800,00.
came to
John lent me some money, but I have to return his money as soon as possible.

If you want to buy something and pay it in cash, you must save money.
set money aside
I don't have such a huge salary. Actually, I receive enough money to pay my bills, and this is it. I just pay the bills.
get by
I love cars, and I am aware this a very expensive one, but I bought it anyway.
splashed out
I am going to the supermarket anyway, so if you want I can buy some products you need.
pick up
I set money aside to buy some very expensive jeans, but when I got to the store, they were not available anymore.

If you want to buy something, but you are just getting by, you have to reduce the money you spend on one area, so you can invest it in another one.
