Money Saving Challenge: How Will you Save Money This Year?

Surely you've seen it posted all over Facebook and the blogging world.  I love the idea of this.  I would LOVE to be able to do it, but realistically, $52/week the last week of December seems like pushing it to me.  I just don't want to set myself up for disaster/failure.  We live on one income and really really don't need anything.  We want for stuff; but even then we usually find a way to get it.  We don't deny ourselves much; within reason, of course.

I think for now I plan to take $5/week and put it away.  One way to make sure that $5 isn't spent is to get it in coins from the bank and putting it in a jar/piggy bank. (I'm more apt to spend dollar bills if they are saved and if the money is in my savings there's a chance I'll swipe it away using the card!  I have discipline but not that much when faced with an amazing shoe sale...). I'd love to hear your plans for saving this year? Will you be doing a challenge similar to this one?

I'm not sure to credit for this photo of the challenge...it's been passed around so many times!  If this is your photo please let me know!
