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 :)

10/19 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: I received a rebate check in the mail. My husband and I had a date for lunch - and each used a coupon at KFC. Then he kindly ran errands. He purchased tilapia with my $20 freebie coupon - but spent $3 - he bought a bunch, and it is in the freezer. Then he stopped at Aldi and picked up some produce. I stopped at Kroger to use my $5 coupon, $3 off $15 in frozen coupon, and a few other coupons and was able to round out my shopping for the rest of the week - I mainly wanted TP - don't want to run out of that - and I had a TP coupon coupon too. So, I got 12 double rolls, and 3 vegetarian frozen pizza's for $12 after coupons. I was really hoping to the Betty Crocker deal one more time - but they were out of the $1 boxes of potatoes - then I could have cut the $12 down to $10 - and would have had $5 boxes of potatoes to boot.
