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:
Oh hey…did I mention we bought a house this week?! (I know I sound like a broken record, but I have to keep reminding myself that it’s really true! The paperwork is all sorted and the conveyancing process is complete. I know the idea of getting a conveyancing solicitor can be daunting for many, but the information on the Lending Expert website actually helps to explain it in very simple terms.)
We are in the midst of a painting frenzy while the boys visit our family up in NY this weekend. (Hurray for our family in NY!!!) In the meantime, I have been so very grateful for some gift cards that were given to us and the catalinas that I earned over the past couple of weeks. I have literally spent around $1.50 on food this week even though I didn’t take the time to clip any coupons!
I look forward to settling into our new home soon and life returning to normal, but in the meantime I’m going to take a break from calculating my savings. I’d still like to hear about yours though! Leave a link or comment below and let me know what made you say “Cha-CHING!” this week!

Congrats on your new house–how exciting and it sounds like you are making out great with your savings with little current work.
I added my linky but it’s my first time so I don’t know if I did it right. LOL. I saved 46% this past weekend during one shopping trip taking advantage of Dollar Doublers!
Oh and congrats on your new home!!
in your savings is that money actually in the bank or is that money not spent
Hi, Debbie! You can share your savings however you would like! There’s no rules on that. 🙂
I typically just use my receipts to share how much money I saved on each shopping trip, that is the easiest way for me to keep track.
Congrats on the new house! How exciting!! We just bought ours in March.
How exciting! Congrats on your new house!! Thanks for linky (and sorry, I accidentally entered my Kroger trip twice)!
