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!   Add a link to your post detailing your savings for the week OR your favorite deal of the week. I may even choose one participating blog to highlight next week right here on Cha-Ching on a Shoestring!

Check out my savings for the week below:

I made it through the week without doing any real grocery shopping.  And boy was I grateful that I did when we woke up this morning to a broken refrigerator (for the second time in a few months).  Thankfully, our fridge was empty enough that we could fit everything in a cooler and our chest freezer (another reason I’m glad we invested in a chest freezer years ago!)

One other reason I’m grateful this morning?  We purchased the extended warranty on our fridge when we bought it less than a year and a half ago.

Savings from coupons and store sales: $4.66

  • Spent $13.72 at Landis.  Saved $4.66.

Savings from ‘Free Money’: $5.19

I got some fun freebies in the mail this week:

  • a check for $2.50 from Kellogg’s from a Try Me Free rebate on Keebler Right Bites.
  • a $10 Walmart gift card that I redeemed from Recyclebank.*
  • a coupon for a FREE box of Huggies Wipes that I redeemed with some Huggies Rewards points.*
  • a coupon for a FREE box of Post Great Grains cereal that was offered on their Facebook page a while back.*

*I’ll add these to my savings when I redeem them.

  • I also got a FREE Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffee this week (it’s a local promotion).

Savings from planning ahead: about $500

  • I am very thankful that we decided to take advantage of the extended warranty when we bought our fridge about a year and a half ago.  Little did we know how much money it would save us in the long run.

TOTAL SAVINGS:$509.85

TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $1448.03
