The 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: $47.58

• CVS: Saved $3.96

• Target: Saved $18.62 (scored two FREE Air Wick i-motion starter kits for my new house!)

• ALDI: Saved $10

• Toys R Us: We saved $15 by signing Griffin up for their birthday club and getting a $3 coupon and a FREE Thomas Wooden Train.  So fun!

• Chuck E. Cheese: I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that the coupons that we got for signing up at Chuckecheese.com saved us about $15 when we took Griffin there on his birthday.  We even scored about 65 free tokens!

Savings from ‘Free Money’: $19.00

• Wes and I  have made around $2.00 this week from YouData.
• I’ve deposited about $2 in my Upromise since the last time I reported.
• Wes got accepted for Pinecone Research a while back and has done about 5 surveys.  He usually received his $3 check the following week!

Savings from cutting costs: $30

• Although the supplies for the fire truck birthday cake I am going to make today cost around $20, that’s still a savings of $30 for not simply purchasing one.  Plus, it’s going to be soooo much cuter…I hope!
  

TOTAL SAVINGS:$96.58

TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $2888.55
