Saving on a Shoestring button-125(2)

It’s the beginning of the month and that means another Saving on a Shoestring update is due!

I do have a little confession to make.  Last month I was at 78% savings toward Christmas.  This month I am at 74%. You don’t have to be an accountant to figure out that some funds have gone missing in my Christmas Club Account. Ahem.

I do, however, have a good explanation.  I dipped into my Swag Bucks account to order our Garmin GPS from Amazon.  This meant using some gift cards that I had designated for our Christmas fund.

Since we are well on our way to 100%, I feel good about this decision.  (Not to mention the Garmin has been a lifesaver on more than one occasion!  Honestly, did we really used to use MAPS to find things?)  I am confident that I will reach my goal by December!

And now for the updates.  I used my handy dandy  Cha-Ching Christmas Club Savings Tracker to crunch my numbers.  Remember that you can download your own copy (click on ‘File’ and then ‘Download’) and then make it all your own.

So here’s the scoop:

Project Cruise 2012: We are up to 16%!

Cha-Ching! Christmas Club: I am at 74%!  (This is from rebates, Pinecone surveys, Swag Bucks, and MyPoints.)

*****

How about you? Have you been saving and scrimping toward a reward or are you a part of the Cha-Ching! Christmas Club?  Then leave a comment or a link below sharing your savings update.  And then PLEASE encourage each other by leaving comments here or on the blogs listed.  If we work on this together, it will be so much more fun!

AND just to add to all the fun going on around here, I will give a $5 Amazon gift code to one person who leaves a direct link to their savings post or a comment sharing an update on their savings.  (I figure it’s just one more way to help you save on that shoestring!)

The giveaway will end Monday, August 9  at 10 a.m. EST. I’ll use Random.org to select the winning comment or link. Winner will be notified by email and listed on this site.

Note: If you have a blog, here is the HTML code for the Saving on a Shoestring button above:

If you have ever signed up for Magazines.com e-mail list, then you probably have received an e-mail from time to time that says “$5 Gift Card Enclosed”.  I have always deleted that e-mail since I typically get magazine subscriptions for free elsewhere.

However, several months ago I spotted a post from Koupon Karen that alerted me to the fact that when I receive those e-mails, there is a place at the bottom of the letter to request the gift card as cash.  I gave it a try and sure enough–a check showed up in my mail a few weeks later!

All you have to do is copy the gift card code in the e-mail and then head on over here to enter your information and the code.   Then be on the look-out for a FREE $5 check in the mail!

Be sure to check your e-mail if you are a Magazines.com subscriber as you may have a gift card offer waiting for you.  (I did today and you better believe I requested a check!)  If you are not a Magazines.com e-mail subscriber, you can sign up here.
