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 :)

8/25 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: Today was a heavy coupon use day. My daughter used 2 20% off at Barnes and Noble on 2 books she picked up for school. She bought my coffee with a discounted gift card and got a free Refresher for herself. She used a birthday giftcard and got a new shirt. She used the Ulta $3.50 off $10 and got a few make-up items. I gave my husband a coupon for the new bagel/panini place - and he got a bogo panini plate for himself and my daughter - and he used a coupon for a free bagel and 1/2 off a dozen bagel coupon. I used over $13 in coupons at Dollar General and stocked up on a bunch of cleaning supplies and toiletries. I also used over $30 in coupons at Kroger. My daughter and I took the dog for a walk - free exercise :) Now they are watching a DVD. Oh, stopped by the thrift shop and got 10 pieces of clothing for $20. Work pants, a couple of shirts - a cute appliqued jacket and my daughter bought 4 items to upcycle.
