Well, now…I am currently at a hotel in between a wedding and the reception, letting Lincoln sneak in a nap. I had absolutely no intentions of posting a deal right now, but I saw this over at The Good, True and Beautiful and couldn’t pass up sharing it with you.
Hanna at Worldforbaby.com is giving away a Johnson’s Gift Set simply for stopping by her site and signing up. The offer is limited to one per household and I’m guessing it’s while supplies last. What a sweet deal! Go here to sign up.
Now, it’s off to the reception for me…gotta get my dancin’ shoes on!
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.
I’ve changed things up to make it even easier for you to post your favorite deals. You can now add them 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.
I’d like to share a little bit about my spending this week. I actually spent more than usual and struggled with feeling badly about it for a little while. I bought some clothes for Griffin ($46) because we haven’t found a whole lot at yard sales. And I bought two dresses ($50) because Griffin is in a wedding this weekend and I needed one for the rehearsal and one for the wedding. On top of that, Wes, Griffin, and I all got our hair cut.
I had to remind myself that this is not the norm for me and the whole reason we budget is so we can spend money on items like these when needed. So instead of feeling badly, I want to feel grateful that we have this money to spend!
Check out my savings for the week below:
Savings from coupons and store sales: $16.25
Savings from ‘Free Money’: $3.43
Savings from a little bit of hard work: $57
TOTAL SAVINGS:$76.68
TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $2057.99 (we hit the $2000 mark!)
