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 :)

1/21 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: I used the $50 off $100 coupon at Bestbuy (with Mastercard - and lots of restrictions) for 3 boxes of black/color ink cartridges for our printer. We should be set for the year. We also stopped at Kroger and got our free Carnation Instant Breakfast mix with digital coupon - I also got some 1/2 priced manager's special items to freeze. I also found a $4 rebate form for rotisserie chicken which will come in handy. And we used some Tomato Bank points at Earthfare to have a nice lunch out - mine came to $1.50 after point redemption. I also listed 2 items on ebay - hopefully they will sell and that's a bit more clutter out and cash-in. Added: planted basil seeds I "won" on Listia, received my Amazon.com e-card for selling a giftcard and found that I had a $5 code on Swagbucks that I had not redeemed, sewed the zipper on my daughter's jeans, and made a batch of potato salad before the potatoes as a side dish for the next couple of meals.
