The collection of Purim is designated for Purim and the collection of a city is designated for that city. One is not frugal with the collection of Purim, rather we buy with it calves and slaughter and eat them. The extra money should (not) be added to the general charity fund. Rabbi Akiva said "The collection of Purim should not be used to buy a shoe lace for a poor person."
