We are a family of three in transition. We spent years being frugal and are now at a crossroad. We'd like to retire from our day jobs in two years or less. Our retirement goals are to provide our daughter with the best education she desires; travel; and find new careers - perhaps part-time that we really enjoy. I hope to post both "frugal" and "personal finance" information. NOTE: I am not a professional on either subject. My posts are purely entertainment :)

5/4 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: Mail call - 2 more freebie magazines: Woman's Day and Smart Money. I also got my Yves Rocher order - very nice, especially for the price. I also got 4,500 listia credits - which I "spent" on 6 skeins of yarn and a vintage owl necklace. The Owl is really neat - on a 24 inch chain and it has faux gem eyes ;) No shipping costs for either. Took my daughter to guitar lessons and while she was taking lessons, I went to Aldi. For $4.04, I got 8 Roma Tomatoes, 3 Green Peppers, 1 Mango, 2 Avocados, and 2 pounds of sweet onions. Then to the take 'n bake pizza place. Got 2 large cheese pizzas for $8 plus tax. Now my punch card is full and I will get a free pizza next time. We stopped at Kroger for a few groceries and I told my daughter, our limit is $20 - with coupons, we spent $15.XX and got a coupon for a free Yoplait Greek Yogurt. Of course I purchased 3 Greek yogurts in the organic section that were marked down to .25 each. We also rented a Red Box. Tomorrow, I have a hair appointment. Not sure what else we will do. Added: I sold an item on Amazon.com, 1 item left in my inventory and I sold 2 items on Listia.
