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 :)

10/12 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: To beef up my work wardrobe, I placed an order at Coldwater Creek today using code NFA7657 in the Outlet. So, not only did I get an extra 50% on each item, I also got $30 off for spending $100. I went thru ebates for an additional 2% back - on my AMEX card so that I can get the $500 bonus. Today, I went to the beauty school and got my hair cut styled, facial, and free parafin hand wax. I also made a trip to Rite Aid - as we needed saline solution for our contacts. I have a discounted RA giftcard - so, just used it. Since I fill all of our RX's at RA - I have enough points to get a 20% discount on everything. I was looking at my receipt and was marveling at that discount. Now I am wondering if I can get a 20% on giftcards there and use my AMEX card for further benefits. And if the 20% works on giftcards - that would be a great way to buy them since it seems people in my daughter's age group seem to like giftcards for birthday gifts.
