My goal for June is to start using coupons. So many times I have coupons that are for products I don't normally buy so they do me no good. But lately I have found a few that have been of products I actually buy on a regular basis.
My husband has been taking his lunch to work. He likes the Minute Rice in a cup. It's microwavable and comes in a two pack. The wrapping had a coupon for $1 off 2 rice packs. So since I buy 2 at a time anyway, this would be a coupon I would use.
I actually remembered to use the coupon - unlike my $5 off The Sims 3 coupon from Target I totally forgot about. Any money saved from using coupons goes into the $20 challenge.
So I'm up to $14.76 cash but need to add my Gamefly membership that I would have paid for June to the kitty.
Hopefully I will be using more coupons in the coming weeks and saving a lot more money.

I live in Florida and also have to think about hurricanes or any emergency that could show up. Last year, I bought a box (6 pack) of Cup of Noodles. Each one is a generous large cup with noodles and veggies and you just add boiling water and let it set for a while. I tried them for the first time and found them to be very filling and also great for an emergency. Great buy also.
