Welcome to the weekly Cha-Ching Challenge!
Would you like to join us?
Simply copy and paste the image above (or the html code below) in a post detailing all of your savings for the week. Each week I will choose one participating blog to highlight right here on Cha-Ching on a Shoestring. Please be sure to leave your comment no later than Sunday (4/26 at 12 p.m. EST).
Here are my savings for the week:
Savings from coupons and store sales: $69.92
- We scored a 50% off coupon from oldnavyweekly.com. I used it to buy some much needed summer clothes for my boys and socks that don’t fall off for my 8 month old!
- Got two GREAT deals at Target this week:
- Market Pantry Fruit Snacks (snack size located near the registers) – $0.89 each
Use $1/1 Target coupon here.
FREE after coupon
(I ‘bought’ 5!)
- I also got the Glade candle deal I posted about here.
- Market Pantry Fruit Snacks (snack size located near the registers) – $0.89 each
Savings from cutting costs: $30.00
- Wes learned a new skill this week: coloring my hair! I got some hair dye free at Rite Aid last week and suckered him into asked him if he’d help me use it. I figure this saves us the $30 we would have used in a salon. Wish I had a picture of this one!
Savings from shopping the deals: $59.20
- If you missed my post on the Deckers Leather sandals I scored for $5.80, you missed out! Check it out here. Let me know if the deal still works.
TOTAL SAVINGS: $159.12
TOTAL SAVINGS FOR THE YEAR: $1063.33 (WE BROKE $1000!)

Well I got a coupon for a free titanium razor. Then at walgreen’s the razor is on sale for 8.99 and you get 3 in register rewards!!! So that means you make 3 dollars!!!
Also Kotex are on sale 2/$6 with a $3 R.R which makes them 2/$3. Then I have a coupon for $2 off 2 which ends up making then .50 a pack.
Shick razors are on sale for 5.99 less $1 in store coupon. A $3 off coupon came in the RP coupons. The total cost is $1.99
Dove Men’s body wash is $5.99 with a R.R off $5.99 which equals free!! But there is also a coupon for a $1 off when you buy one body wash and one 6pk face bar. I think they run about $3.00 a pack. so with the rewards and coupons you still end up getting $6 back in rewards!!! WOOT!!!
$38.96-17.98 in R.R-8.99 in rebates-7.00 in coupons= 5.01 and I used 7.00 in R.R. for a total refund of 1.99!!!! YES!!
