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.

Check out my savings for the week below:

Thing have been a little nutty around here over the past couple weeks between overnight house guests, trips, and LIFE happening.  So that’s why I haven’t posted the Cha-Ching Challenge in a couple of weeks.  I simply couldn’t find the time to tally my savings!  But I managed to gather my receipts from the last two weeks this morning.

I also wanted to share a picture of some of the freebies that have shown up in my mailbox in the last week.  I often forget to add these to my savings tally, but these make up a BIG part of how I’m learning to  ‘Live Large on a Limited Budget!’

Pictured above:

Free Purex, Dove Men deodorant and Playtex samples
$10 Starbucks gift card I redeemed with my Pampers Rewards codes
Coupon for a FREE John Frieda Hair Colour
Coupon to save $1 on any Coca Cola product from RecycleBank (should make it FREE!)
Free Woman’s Day magazine subscription
$10.95 Physician’s Formula rebate

Here are my savings from the past two weeks:

Savings from coupons and store sales: $88.10

  • Spent $70.54.  Saved $88.10.  (Savings of 56%)

Savings from freebies and rebates: $30

TOTAL SAVINGS:$118.10

TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $2109.35
