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.
I’d like to share a little bit about my spending this week. I actually spent more than usual and struggled with feeling badly about it for a little while. I bought some clothes for Griffin ($46) because we haven’t found a whole lot at yard sales. And I bought two dresses ($50) because Griffin is in a wedding this weekend and I needed one for the rehearsal and one for the wedding. On top of that, Wes, Griffin, and I all got our hair cut.
I had to remind myself that this is not the norm for me and the whole reason we budget is so we can spend money on items like these when needed. So instead of feeling badly, I want to feel grateful that we have this money to spend!
Check out my savings for the week below:
Savings from coupons and store sales: $16.25
- Here’s what I saved in my Big Race through Target: $16.25
Savings from ‘Free Money’: $3.43
- Wes signed up for Pinecone Research and received a $3 check in the mail for completing a survey last week.
- I just realized I didn’t check my YouData account this week. So I just did and got $.43 for clicking a few buttons!
Savings from a little bit of hard work: $57
- We held a yard sale last weekend! While $57 may not seem like a lot, we were pleased considering we held it in a more rural area. PLUS we got rid of my old manual treadmill and Wes’s old NordicTrack which were simply taking up space–AWESOME.
TOTAL SAVINGS:$76.68
TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $2057.99 (we hit the $2000 mark!)
