Placing "each week" at the end of the sentence implies that Marsha needs to save $10 per week consistently in order to reach her goal of buying a new bike. However, placing "each week" after "new bike" implies that Marsha needs to save $10 in order to buy a new bike every week. This changes the meaning to suggest that Marsha is not saving for one bike, but for multiple bikes on a weekly basis.
