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:

Savings from coupons and store sales: $6.00

  • After last week’s $10 Challenge, I needed a break from shopping for a week!  So I only hit CVS for the Post Trail Mix moneymaker. (Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my ECBs with me, so I had to pay out of pocket.  Oh well.)  It was nice to take a break from shopping for the week, I have to admit!

    Savings from ‘Free Money’: $2.69

    • Wes and I made around $.69 this week from YouData–are you all checking your accounts?
    • Made $2 in my Upromise account from the Post Trail Mix deal above–my Mother in Law is signed up in our Upromise account did the deal too!

    Savings from cutting costs: $6

    • We’ve been enjoying lettuce from our little garden this week!  It really is yummy…and so fun to step outside our door to ‘shop’ for dinner.  Can’t wait for the tomatoes!

    TOTAL SAVINGS:$14.69

    TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $2192.05

      I don’t have a website, but I did score some fantastic deals this week.

      KMart was doubling coupons this week, so I got:
      3 Reach Toothbrushes
      3 Purex 3-in-1 Complete
      3 Oreo Cakesters
      3 single serve packs CoffeeMate
      3 bottles Starbucks Frappuccino
      6 bottles Smart Water
      2 Pictureka Card Games

      My total before coupons- $64.42
      Total Spent OOP- $9.98 (by the skin of my teeth under $10)

      My husband happened to go with my on this trip and he was ECSTATIC when he kept seeing the total go down.

      By far my best deal this week took place at Kmart – and not even the double coupon event! It was the toy clearance that won my excitement! Check out my awesome deal 🙂
