Save! Depends. You'll probably save more time than money.
The long and the short of it
Boil your eggs and steam your buns at the same time! (Ok that sounded just a little rude :p)Added tips!
Bring your eggs to room temperature first. Cos one of my eggs burst open during boiling. Not much mess just that the boiled egg isn't going to be a looker.

I know I know... it's all a little bit underwhelming. But Hey! You save water, time and gas.
It's still money saved no?
Any worries about the water not being safe and cleaning up to be more of a hassle... well those aren't true.
I've thought about it (all of a grand 30 seconds) and came up with the following Q&A to allay thine fears:
Q: You disgusting person you! What if the egg breaks during cooking and it coats your pot with egg bits! Won't it be hard to clean?!
A: Using another pot will result in the same mess what...
Q: You unhygienic animal! Won't it be unhygienic what with the metal steamer insert?!
A) It's boiling water... People use that to sterilize canning jars... It's safe. Period.
Q: Liar! Won't it take longer to steam with more mass in the pot?
A) Yes it will but erm not noticeably. Anyway you don't watch the water to wait for it to boil so I guess you ain't gonna catch and save on that 0.5 millisecond extra gas used in the cooking of those 2 eggs.
Q: You heathen! It's against Nature to eat eggs with buns! The pairing of the two are against my religion!
A: Fine. Steam the eggs and boil some sausages instead... Or steam the buns and boil sausages instead... Go think up your own combination / combo...
Q: You're a destroyer of worlds! Cooking eggs other than by itself in pure unadulterated water is against the laws of the galaxy and will cause a cosmic imbalance that risks turning the world onto itself, causing a massive super nova to erupt! Thus destroying the world!
A: Go jump in the lake you mad F***...
