    • Rite Aid: I did this moneymaking deal at Rite Aid, plus I got most of the free after rebate items.  Saved $80.89.

    • Walgreens: Did this gum deal at Walgreens. Saved $2.

    Savings from ‘Free Money’: $15.00

    • Over the past few weeks, I have received some sort of freebie in the mail almost every single day.  Whether it be a free cereal sample, a lip gloss sample, a free magazine subscription, or a free Playtex sample, over time these things begin to make a dent in our budget.  Not to mention, going to my mailbox is a highlight of my day!  (By the way, you can check out my latest freebies posts here.)

    Savings from cutting costs: $500

    • Our four year old, Griffin is so ready for school.  But when we made the move to Pennsylvania, we left  behind free pre-school in New York.  We weren’t quite ready to jump into a school bill, so we opted to try out some good ol’ home schoolin’.   I’m having some fun returning to my teaching roots and watching Griffin learn exciting new things.  I think that’s what you call priceless.

    TOTAL SAVINGS:$658.80

    TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $3956.44

    NOTE:  This is last week’s Cha-Ching Challenge Highlight.  This week’s will be posted on Thursday!

    Welcome to the weekly

    Cha-Ching Challenge Highlight!

    I am pleased to announce our
    Cha-Ching Challenge Highlight Winner.

    This week’s highlight is FrugalFunandFortune!

    Meagan is a recent postgrad and newlywed, as well as a seeker of simplicity in life.

    She writes:

    “After a few life-changing events, my husband and I found ourselves barely able to scrape by every month. We are still in that situation, but couponing and bargain hunting have helped us not only survive, but THRIVE, on very little! My hope in making this blog is that I can encourage you, help you through your financial battles, help you learn how to save money, save you time in the process, enable you to give more away to others, and show you how much fun it can truly be!”

    Check out her post sharing how she paid only $32.58 for $150.91 worth of groceries last week!  Awesome job, Meagan!

    While you are there, check out her $20 Grocery Budget Challenge: Week 1 post.  I say, “You can do it, Meagan–you’ve totally got what it takes!”
