Check out my savings for the week below:

Savings from YOU: $50.00

I wanted to share this because it was so exciting to me. Remember the Diapers.com deals I have posted? They are super great deals for diapers, but when you order by using my code, you put $5 into my account. Many of you have taken advantage of the deal. In fact, I was able to order a case of diapers, Pull-ups, and a box of wipes for FREE because of you (a $50 value)! Thank you!

I also wanted to let you know that when you refer friends, you can get $5 added into your Diapers.com account as well. Simply sign into your account and click on ‘My Account’. On the left hand side, you’ll see information about the referral program and ways that you can get credit for referring people. I recommend that you create your own code and let others know about the deals I’ve posted. (Tell them to use your code instead of mine though!) You could be on your way to an even better diaper deal!

Savings from coupons and store sales: $130.80

CVS: Spent $1.57. Saved $26.66.

Rite Aid: Spent $4.28. Saved $48.67.

Landis: Spent $18.71. Saved $41.86 (had a gift card!)

Giant: Spent $10.17. Saved $13.61.

Savings from ‘Free Money’: $2.31

Wes and I made around $.32 this week from YouData. (Hey–every penny counts!)

I actually stopped by a Hallmark this week to score my FREE kids’ card ($1.99 value). It’s very cute. Have you gotten yours yet?

TOTAL SAVINGS:$183.11

TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $676.88

This week’s highlight is Confessions of a Couponaholic!

She writes:

“My name is Karissa. I started couponing this last year, and I am hooked. It is such a rush putting together great deals to save my family money that we can spend on having fun. I work part time as a nurse and my husband is a teacher. I decided to create this site to share my deals with others. Watch out, because before you know it, you might be hooked too!”

Check out her posts here, here, and here sharing her latest steals deals at Albertsons, Walgreens and Rite Aid. (She literally got paid to shop!) But be careful–you might become a couponaholic too!

Welcome to the weekly

Cha-Ching Challenge Highlight!

I am pleased to announce our

This week’s highlight is Coupon Teacher!

She writes:

“My name is Shelly, and I am the coupon teacher. I am a Christian, wife, teacher, and avid bargain hunter. If you have any questions about something I post, please ask! I am a teacher after all.”

Check out her post sharing how she saved over 90% total at 6 different stores! (She admits that it took her three hours–but that’s only half an hour at each store. Not bad! I’m guessing she went in with a plan, ya think?!)

While you’re there, you may want to enter her Le Creuset giveaway (ends 2/14) or her Soft Scrub Total giveaway (ends Feb. 22).
