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.

Add your links 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:

This week, I gave myself the $10 Challenge in order to appease my Deal Hunting Diva’s lack of deal-hunting lately.  Pictured above you’ll find what I scored.   Here are the stats:

Total Retail Value before Coupons: $112.03
Total amount Paid after Coupons and Single Check Rebates: $0!!!!
(in fact, I will make about $1 after SCR!)

Yep–My Deal Hunting Diva got her fix this week!

Additional savings from coupons at Walmart: $7.34

TOTAL SAVINGS:$119.37

TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $2177.36

——————————————–

HOW DID YOU DO? Did you find any great deals? Leave a linky and let us know!  Be sure to link directly to your weekly savings or great deal post.

Feel free to copy and paste the button above into your post and link back here so that others can join in the fun!

    I don’t see Mr. Linky. It seems he’s become very unreliable lately. Have you tried Mcklinky? It seems to be a lot more reliable.

      How strange. He’s there for me. Some people have already posted links as well.

      If you’d like to leave your links in the comment section, I’d be happy to post them on Mr. Linky for you. Hopefully he will magically re-appear for the world to see!

      OH WAIT…I just realized the problem! This is the wrong post. If you go to my home page, you will see this week’s Cha-Ching Challenge.

      Mystery solved. =)

    Did you post somewhere how you landed all of those products for so little? I’m so interested in how you did that! Amazing!!

      Karin,

      I shopped at Target, Walmart, CVS, Rite Aid, and Walgreens. I found as many freebies as possible at each store by finding deals here, here, here, here, and here. (Plus I had a couple of mailer coupons for some free items.) With little bit of planning ahead, anybody could do this!
