The (New and Improved) Cha-Ching Challenge

June 20th, 2009 By Kaley
This post may contain affiliate links, which means I will make a small commission if you click and make a purchase.

Welcome to the weekly Cha-Ching Challenge!

Did you find a HOT deal this week that you just want to share? You’ve come to the right place! Every week I post the Cha-Ching Challenge, sharing my savings for the week. Add a link to your post detailing your savings for the week OR your favorite deal of the week. I’ll choose one participating blog to highlight next week right here on Cha-Ching on a Shoestring.

I’ve changed things up to make it even easier for you to post your favorite deals. You can now add them to Mr. Linky at any time. In order to be considered for the Cha-Ching Challenge Highlight, just be sure to add your link no later than Tuesday at midnight EST.

I’d like to share a little bit about my spending this week. I actually spent more than usual and struggled with feeling badly about it for a little while. I bought some clothes for Griffin ($46) because we haven’t found a whole lot at yard sales. And I bought two dresses ($50) because Griffin is in a wedding this weekend and I needed one for the rehearsal and one for the wedding. On top of that, Wes, Griffin, and I all got our hair cut.

I had to remind myself that this is not the norm for me and the whole reason we budget is so we can spend money on items like these when needed. So instead of feeling badly, I want to feel grateful that we have this money to spend!

Check out my savings for the week below:

Savings from coupons and store sales: $16.25

Here’s what I saved in my Big Race through Target: $16.25

Savings from ‘Free Money’: $3.43

Wes signed up for Pinecone Research and received a $3 check in the mail for completing a survey last week.
I just realized I didn’t check my YouData account this week. So I just did and got $.43 for clicking a few buttons!

Savings from a little bit of hard work: $57

We held a yard sale last weekend! While $57 may not seem like a lot, we were pleased considering we held it in a more rural area. PLUS we got rid of my old manual treadmill and Wes’s old NordicTrack which were simply taking up space–AWESOME.

TOTAL SAVINGS:$76.68

TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $2057.99 (we hit the $2000 mark!)

UPDATE: Nielsen:No Longer Accepting Applicants

June 19th, 2009 By Kaley
This post may contain affiliate links, which means I will make a small commission if you click and make a purchase.

Have you ever received a request from Nielsen to track your TV watching for the week? We’ve done it a couple of times and I have been impressed by the fact that $30 in cash arrives in our mailbox before we even complete the survey.

Well, Nielsen is now accepting applicants to join the Nielsen Homescan Consumer Panel. If you are accepted as a panel member, Homescan will provide you with a hand-held scanner. Every time you or members of your household shop, you’ll use the scanner to scan the barcodes on all of your purchases.

Once a week, you’ll transmit this information to Nielsen and you’ll earn points which can be redeemed for a variety of items from the Nielsen Gift Catalog.

Wes was accepted as a panel member and is currently on the waiting list for a scanner. We think this is such a fun and simple way to earn rewards and can’t wait to try it out! From what we’ve heard, it takes a little while to earn rewards, but once you do, they can be redeemed for some great prizes like electronics and household items. Repeat after me: Free money is our friend!

If you are interested in signing up, they are taking applications for their panel right now. Go here to read more and sign up.

CVS: Lens Cleansing Cloths Moneymaker!

June 18th, 2009 By Kaley
This post may contain affiliate links, which means I will make a small commission if you click and make a purchase.

Well, ladies and gents, it looks like we have another HOT CVS moneymaker on our hands. Here’s the scoop from Jenny from Southern Savers.

There’s a weekly CVS Extra Care Bucks deals on Sunglasses. Apparently the following products are also included in this deal:

Style Science Lens Cleaning Cloths that sell for $0.99 each (silver colored pack of 20)

Car Cleaning Cloths at $0.99 cents each

Style Science Glass Cases at $1.99

Therefore, you could pay only $1.98 OOP and receive $10 ECBs! That’s an $8 moneymaker!

Most people are reporting that you can find these next to the sunglasses or eyeglasses displays. Let us know where you find yours!

I am always skeptical when I first see these moneymaker deals because they seem too good to be true. However, almost every comment that I’ve read is showing that this deal is working for people. Of course, I can’t guarantee that it will work for you, but you better believe I will be heading to CVS TODAY to try it out!

UPDATE: It worked for me…woohoo! They were by the sunglasses in my CVS.

Boston Market: Free Kid’s Meal with Purchase

Boy, these free food deals keep coming, don’t they?

Thanks, Money Saving Mom!

Summer Fun Round-up: Updated

June 17th, 2009 By Kaley
This post may contain affiliate links, which means I will make a small commission if you click and make a purchase.

Here’s a heads-up that I’ve updated the Summer Fun Round-Up list.

My favorite item that I’ve added is information on FreeAttractions.com This is a great resource to find free activities in your local area or in this year’s vacation spot. Listings include Free Museums, Free Parks, Free Concerts, Free Parades, Free Festivals, and Free Zoos.

Restaurant.com Sale: 60% off

June 17th, 2009 By Kaley
This post may contain affiliate links, which means I will make a small commission if you click and make a purchase.

Here’s an idea for Father’s Day: Restaurant.com is selling $25 gift certificates to thousands of restaurants nation-wide for only $4 when you use code DAD at check-out! If you plan on taking Dad out to dinner anyway, what a great way to save some greenbacks!

PLUS you will also receive $15 off your next qualifying purchase of $75 or more from Lobster Gram. This code is good until June 21, 2009. In most cases, the gift certificate is good for one year from purchase.

If you have never purchased a gift certificate from Restaurant.com, I would encourage you to be sure to read all of the details before purchasing. Sometimes there is a minimum amount that needs to be spent or you are required to purchase a certain amount of entrees. It is still a great way to save money, but just be sure to be informed!
