The Cha-Ching Challenge: Why I Fell off the Couponing Wagon (Plus Share Your Savings!)

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:

First, let me apologize for my lack of posting the Cha-Ching Challenge lately.  Did I tell you guys we’ve had family living with us for the past three weeks?  It’s kind of a long story, but Wes’s brother and his wife and daughter stayed with us while they were looking for a place to live in the area.

So honestly, I kind of fell off the couponing wagon in the midst of the busy-ness.  Not to mention, our guests were super gracious in buying groceries while they were here, so I’m not sure what I spent and what they did!

I did manage to use a few coupons in the past few weeks, so I thought I’d share my savings and spendings from those trips as I dust myself off and climb right back on the wagon!

Savings from coupons and store sales: $92.11

  • Spent $34.55 at CVS and Landis.  Saved $92.11.

TOTAL SAVINGS:$92.11

TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $2401.10

    I just recently got back on the bandwagon, after falling off for about 9 months.

    Sometimes it’s nice to take a little break from it, I’m sure all the work you normally do more than makes up for a few weeks. I personally have been on a coupon-vacation for like 6 weeks. I have a Personal Finance blog and have been more focused on that lately—soon I will find my balance again. 🙂

    Sometimes I think falling off and walking is a nice break :-). I also want to apologize for posting my link twice–I have an injured daughter and I keep having to run from the computer and I get confused where I was :-).

    Spent 11.41 saved almost $50.00 never quite certain if I do the link ups right. Is it just me or is all this stuff complicated for everyone else too?

    Best deal lately .89 for a Pork shoulder so far we had 7 meals out of it and I still have half of it left to cook off.

    Food prices have gone way up!

    It seems we all have to get more creative every week.
