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 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: $10.00
- Shopped at my new ALDI for the first time and was reminded why I love that place.
Savings from ‘Free Money’: $45.00
- Did I mention I (or should I say Griffin?) scored a $25 Starbucks gift card from the Huggies Rewards program? Can I got a holla?! This makes me one very happy girl.
- I used my Swag Bucks to get $20 in Amazon gift cards to use towards some material for doing some school with Griffin. He’s going to love it.
Savings from cutting costs: $6
- We’ve still been enjoying basil and tomatoes from our little garden (and the garden of one of our new friendly neighbors) this week! Does anyone have a good pesto recipe?
Savings from having a little FUN:: $11.56
- When my family was visiting on Labor Day, we decided to head to Chick-fil-A all wearing our favorite sports team logo and score some FREE chicken sandwiches. Oh. yum. I love that we live near a Chick-fil-A now!
TOTAL SAVINGS:$72.56

I shop at Shoprite and Weis Markets. This week I spent $73.28 and saved $77.94. This was with coupons and store card savings. Gotta love it!
Just discovered your blog today. Love the design and your story! My story is similar and I could not imagine life without coupons! It is fun to save 🙂
