The first sentence says that Marsha needs to save $10 each week to buy a new bike. This means she has to save $10 every week. The second sentence says that to reach her goal of buying a new bike each week, Marsha needs to save $10. This means she needs to save $10 every time she wants to buy a new bike, which is probably not what she meant. So, the placement of the italicized phrase changes the meaning of the sentence from saving $10 every week to saving $10 each time she wants to buy a new bike.
