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.

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:

I’m taking a break from sharing my savings for the Cha-Ching Challenge this week since we are packing up our truck TODAY for our big move.  (We are actually moving on Monday.)

But I still want to see how you all did this week!  I confess, I may even have to take a break from hauling boxes just to check out your links.  I love seeing your deals!

Click below to check out my favorite find of the week:
