Cha-Ching challenge

Welcome to the weekly Cha-Ching Challenge!

Did you find a HOT deal this week that you just want to share?  You’ve come to the right place!  Every week I post the Cha-Ching Challenge, sharing my savings for the week.    Add a link to your post detailing your savings for the week OR your favorite deal of the week. I’ll choose one participating blog to highlight next week right here on Cha-Ching on a Shoestring.

I’ve changed things up to make it even easier for you to post your favorite deals.  You can now add them to Mr. Linky at any time.  In order to be considered for the Cha-Ching Challenge Highlight, just be sure to add your link no later than Tuesday at midnight EST.

Check out my savings for the week below:

Savings from coupons and store sales: $74.19

Here’s what I saved in my Big Race (I even made it to Walmart!):

  • CVS: Saved $21.37
  • Target: Saved $13.15
  • Walmart: Saved $11.69
  • Staples: Saved $7.98
  • Aldi: Saved $20

Savings from YOU: $40.01

  • I just wanted to share that I received my first affiliate check from those of you who signed up for E-Mealz through my link.  I want to say a big THANK YOU.  It was very exciting for me to find that check in my mailbox.  Thanks for being such great and supportive readers!

Savings from ‘Free Money’: $2.50

  • Wes and I made around $2.50 this week from YouData (again…not bad for about a minute of our time!)

TOTAL SAVINGS:$116.70

TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $1981.31

    I don’t have any great deals to post (no link either), but I just wanted to let you know I went to Wal-Mart yesterday to buy groceries. For the first time I planned my trip ahead of time (it took a half an hour longer because of the coupons), but I saved around $50. Can you believe it? I was in shock.
    THANK YOU so much Kaley…you truly are an inspiration!!!
