I just have to share my FAVORITE deal from this week in case you missed it on the Facebook page yesterday.

I have had a raincheck for Deer Park Aquapod 8 packs to get them for $1 each.  I finally found a store that had them in stock yesterday.  So I bought 10 of them and had two $1.50 coupons bringing it down to $7.  But here’s the kicker: I got a $1.50 catalina for every two packs that I bought.  The catalina printer wasn’t working, so they actually gave me $7.50 back in cash.  So that means they actually paid me $0.50 to walk out of their store with 10 packs of water.  Doesn’t that just make you want to say Cha-CHING?!

Savings from coupons and store sales: $122.82

• Spent $130.21.  Saved $122.82.

Savings from ‘Free Money’: $10

• I redeemed some Swag Bucks to get a $10 Starbucks gift card this week.  🙂

TOTAL SAVINGS:$132.82

TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $4421.23

Would you believe that I’m away this weekend with NO kids?!  My husband has them in his charge (with the help of some wonderful in-laws!) while I am at a Women’s Retreat with our church.  I am a grateful girl!

I still wanted to give you all a chance to share your savings even though I didn’t get a chance to post mine.  And this week I promise to post a Cha-Ching Challenge Highlight as well.  Time seems to be getting away from me these days–I apologize!

So link up or leave a comment and let’s celebrate your savings!

We now live about a quarter mile from a grocery store.  I realized the other night that I had made a quick : “I-forgot-fill-in-the-blank” trip several nights in a row!  While I am grateful for proximity, running to the store for this or that is probably not the best way to stick to a budget.  Do any of you have the same issue?  How do you keep yourself from making kamikaze runs to the store right before dinner each evening?

Savings from coupons and store sales: $49.94

• Spent $73.77 at Giant, Landis, and Aldi.
• Saved $49.94.

TOTAL SAVINGS:$49.94

TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $4157.79

I finally started to hop back on the couponing wagon this week and it felt great!  It was nice to take a short break during our move, but now the deals are calling my name!

Savings from coupons and store sales: $35.77

I spent $17.49 at Giant and Landis this week.  (You can check out my Giant run here.)  I saved $35.77.  (Saved 67%!)

Savings from ‘Free Money’: $49.99

Did you realize that Frequent Flyer miles can be used for more than just traveling?  I just figured that out!  We don’t fly all that often, so I opted to use my credits I have with United to get a FREE Red Kitchen Aid Toaster (a $49.99 value!).  It is the perfect accessory in my new kitchen!

TOTAL SAVINGS:$85.76

TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $4107.85

Oh hey…did I mention we bought a house this week?! (I know I sound like a broken record, but I have to keep reminding myself that it’s really true! The paperwork is all sorted and the conveyancing process is complete. I know the idea of getting a conveyancing solicitor can be daunting for many, but the information on the Lending Expert website actually helps to explain it in very simple terms.)

We are in the midst of a painting frenzy while the boys visit our family up in NY this weekend. (Hurray for our family in NY!!!) In the meantime, I have been so very grateful for some gift cards that were given to us and the catalinas that I earned over the past couple of weeks. I have literally spent around $1.50 on food this week even though I didn’t take the time to clip any coupons!

I look forward to settling into our new home soon and life returning to normal, but in the meantime I’m going to take a break from calculating my savings. I’d still like to hear about yours though! Leave a link or comment below and let me know what made you say “Cha-CHING!” this week!
