Save $5,000?

I set this goal for my family in 2010, but now I'm questioning exactly what it means. Save $5,000 cash to be put in the family savings account? Or does it mean save $5,000 on sales and clearance items? I'm not sure, so I'm challenging myself and my family to do both! I hope with all the things my family needs we'll be able to buy on sale and save us $5,000 by the end of the year. I also hope our savings account will have $5,000 more by the end of the year.
