This challenge is proving more difficult than I thought. You all make it seem effortless. Maybe some day it will be. . For now, I have some entries and will continue to look for ways to save and add to my challenge.
I took local roads to work last week and saved $5.00 (it's really 70 cents a day for the toll road but I'm rounding up). Also recycled a toner cartridge and got $3.00 coupon which I used to buy a ream of paper which I desperately needed.
Starting Amount: 72.00
Today's Amount : 8.00
Total: : 80.00
Challenge is just that. .

I do not see any value to exersizing unless my insurance company gives me a deduction and they have not done so as of yet for walking to the mail box to mail their check.
This is what I am finding to be difficult in understanding the way this works.
My family usually takes Sundays to drive around.
20.00
We eat out on Sundays each meal.
60.00
We did not of this so we saved 80.00 today. We use a debit card most of the time. What do I do? Do I go to the atm and deduct 80.00 and put it in an envelope? Do I just keep it in the bank and chalk it up as having it still in there and do not touch it?
I am with you Morningstar. It seems effortless. That scares me. Everytime we get a mile ahead, something comes up and we need our savings plus some. That is why I came here. After reading some of the entrys, it seems even harder than I imagined. I can not compete with a challenge that compares my small change to someone paying themselves to exercise? How many do this?

Keep coming back to the site, there is so much here. If the $20 challenge isn't your thing, there are plenty of other things on the site that will catch your interest.
