Thing have been a little nutty around here over the past couple weeks between overnight house guests, trips, and LIFE happening.  So that’s why I haven’t posted the Cha-Ching Challenge in a couple of weeks.  I simply couldn’t find the time to tally my savings!  But I managed to gather my receipts from the last two weeks this morning.

I also wanted to share a picture of some of the freebies that have shown up in my mailbox in the last week.  I often forget to add these to my savings tally, but these make up a BIG part of how I’m learning to  ‘Live Large on a Limited Budget!’

Pictured above:

Free Purex, Dove Men deodorant and Playtex samples
$10 Starbucks gift card I redeemed with my Pampers Rewards codes
Coupon for a FREE John Frieda Hair Colour
Coupon to save $1 on any Coca Cola product from RecycleBank (should make it FREE!)
Free Woman’s Day magazine subscription
$10.95 Physician’s Formula rebate

Here are my savings from the past two weeks:

Savings from coupons and store sales: $88.10

  • Spent $70.54.  Saved $88.10.  (Savings of 56%)

Savings from freebies and rebates: $30

It’s been a busy week.  I shared earlier that we made a quick trip to Virginia Beach.  I forgot to mention that we’ve also had house guests three times in the past week–which we love (in case any of them are reading this)!  So, that being said, I have to be honest and say that I’m really not sure what I spent money on this week. I’m giving us some grace in the midst of all of the goings-on!

I’d love to hear YOUR stories of savings though!
