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:

I missed sharing my savings from last week so now it’s time to get caught up!  I am working through an insane amount of receipts today due to the crazy good catalina deals at Giant and Landis the past couple weeks.  While I spent more than usual over the past two weeks, we are stocked up on cereal and snacks for MONTHS now, so we should easily see the savings in our budget over time.  I also have $36.50 in catalinas to spend–woo hoo!

Savings from coupons and store sales: $302.38

  • Spent $162.24.  Saved $289.69.  Will receive $12.69 in rebates.

Savings from ‘Free Money’: $92

  • Wes received a $3 payment from Pinecone.
  • Received a rebate for $12.00.
  • Received a check from ShopatHome for $77.  Woot!

Savings from cutting costs: $50

  • While we were unable to plant our own garden this year, the amount of produce that has been pouring into our house from friends and neighbors has made me feel like we did!  We’ve been eating tomatoes like they’re going out of style this week–can I get an amen?!

TOTAL SAVINGS:$444.38

TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $4022.09

    Going to be checking out Shop At Home! I need to be more accountable for all my savings, all I ever really keep track of is my CVS shopping and that’s just because I blog about it. I did keep track once and it was amazing how much can be saved, and I think keeping track keeps me on track. Thanks for the details–gives me inspiration.
