Will a 9-speed chain work on a 10-speed SRAM drivetrain on my road bike?

A friend of mine uses a 9-speed chain on his 10-speed Campy Record bike. A 9-speed chain should last longer and is cheaper than a 10-speed chain, so I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same on my bike. I'm worried about the width of the chain and whether it can smoothly move from cog to cog. Would shifting be affected?
 
No, the 9spd chain is overall wider than the 10spd chain and therefore will not engage the cassette properly if at all.
