I pinch change to add to the kitty (4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chip in

'add to the kitty' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i pinch change' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates an anagram.
'i'+'pinch'='ipinch'
'ipinch' anagrammed gives 'CHIP-IN'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for chip in that I've seen before include "Make a contribution" , "hole the ball" , "I pinch (anag)" , "Pay part of the cost of something" , "add to the kitty" .)
