And I learned something during this challenge ... the quote is attributed to Benjamin Franklin from Poor Richard's Almanack, but the closest thing from Franklin is "A penny saved is twopence dear" in his 1736 publication "Hints to those that would be Rich". The next most closely worded phrase is from Henry Fielding's play The Miser (act iii, Scene 12, line 1), "Penny saved is a penny got."
