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:

Savings from coupons and store sales: $147.53

  • Spent $37.83
  • Saved $114.74 (Check out my favorite savings trip at Target this week!)
  • Will receive $32.79 in rebates.

Savings from ‘Free Money’: $9.01

  • This was a simple way of saving, but it was fun so I’ll share it.  I found a coupon in my paper several weeks ago for a FREE McCafe Frappe at McDonald’s.  It was only valid July 1-4, however.  I was so excited when I remembered to use mine yesterday.  Plus, I have two more that Wes and I are going to use today!  That’s about $6 of yummy savings!
  • Wes got paid another $3 for a Pinecone survey.
  • We earned $.01 from YouData!  (Hey–I always say every penny counts, right?!)

TOTAL SAVINGS:$156.54

TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $2555.42

I’m on a trip to NY to see my nephew graduate (go, Andrew!).  I’m going to share the details that I happened to bring with me.  The rest will have to wait until next week!

Savings from coupons and store sales: $8.81

  • Spent $15.68.  Saved $8.81.

Savings from ‘Free Money’: $30.99

  • This was by far my favorite deal of the week.  I recently received a survey from Staples which offered a $15 gift certificate to the first 800 people who filled it out.  I also had $9 in Staples rewards from recycling ink cartridges.  So, I took them both to Staples this week and scored TWO ink cartridges for only $3.17!!  Saved $24!
  • Received a rebate check for $6.99.

TOTAL SAVINGS:$39.80
