Why try a money saving challenge?
Saving money can sometimes feel daunting, but breaking it down into manageable weekly goals makes it much more achievable.
These challenges offer a structured approach to saving, providing you with a clear path and a sense of accomplishment as you tick off each week.
Plus, seeing your savings grow over time can be incredibly motivating!
How these challenges work
The idea is simple: choose the challenge based on your savings goals, and save a specific amount each week. By the end of the 52 weeks, you’ll have a tidy sum saved up.
Whether you’re saving for a holiday, an emergency fund, or just want a financial cushion, these challenges can help you get there.
To make things easier, I’ve created printable charts for each challenge. These are all free for personal use.
Simply click on the images below to download and print your chosen challenge. Display it somewhere visible to keep you on track!
There’s two versions of each challenge: a colourful one and a printer-friendly black and white one.

£1/week money saving challenges
My first money savings challenge is the classic idea of saving slightly more each week. On the first week you put aside £1. Completely achievable, right? On the second week you put away £2. And so on.
If you keep this up for a whole year, you’ll have a respectable £1,378 by the end!
The idea is that you get more used to saving and living frugally as you go on, so you can afford to put away more and more money over time.
Here are your printables. Remember, there’s a colour and black and white version of each challenge:
This is a classic money saving challenge that I’ve seen recommended many times online.
However, one big problem with that is that the end of the year is more expensive, right? Who wants to be saving extra in the build up to Christmas?
That’s why I also created a reverse £1/week challenge. You save £52 in the first week and £1 less each week after that. You’ll still have the same total savings at the end.
£2/week money saving challenges
This is based on the same concept as above, but it’s for people who are ready to save a little more! You start saving £2 per week, and increase it by £2 each week.
You’ll end up with £2756 at the end of the year.
Again, I’ve done an increasing version (starting with £2) and a decreasing version (starting with £104). So you can pick the challenge that works best for you.
£1,000 money saving challenge
£1,000 is a super common savings goal, so I made this £1,000 savings challenge for everyone working towards this goal!
To save £1,000 in a year, you’ll need to save somewhere between £10 and £30 each week. The amounts are slightly different each week in this challenge, just to shake things up and give you some ‘easier’ weeks and ‘harder’ weeks!
If you wanted to save a consistent amount each week, you should save £19 per week to save just over £1000 over the year.
£3,000 money saving challenge
£3,000 is another common money saving target that people have asked for, so here you go!
£5,000 money saving challenge
Here we start getting into some meatier goals!
I know a lot of people are aiming to save £5,000 in a year. That’s a decent chunk of money, and there’s a lot you can do with £5,000! These printables will help you achieve it.
I’ve made two different versions of the £5,000 savings challenge. This first version has different amounts each week, just because I know each week is different!
I also know that money is tighter in January and in the run-up to the holidays. That’s why the target amounts to save are higher in the spring and summer months and ease off towards the end of the year.
Of course, you don’t necessarily have to save all these amounts in order. If you’ve managed to put aside £150 but it’s only a £50 week, you can tick off a £150 box instead and earn yourself an easier month later in the year!
If you prefer to save regular amounts each week, this second version of the challenge is for you. To save £5,000 in one year, you’ll need to save £97 per week (with a few easier weeks at the end!)
