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 :)

1/31 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: The battery I ordered from Amazon for my daughter's smartphone came today - just over $7 shipped! I sold another item on ebay. I filled out a credit card application that I was "prequalified" for - Kroger/USBank. Spend $200 in 3 months and get a $75 statement credit - can't beat that. Tomorrow, my husband and I are opening accounts at a local bank and hopefully in a month or so, we will receive our Kindle Fire HD. I went on a quick cooking spree this afternoon and used up "stuff" - raisin scones, potato casserle, gingerbread cookie whoopie pies, "Mexican" cornbread muffins. I used the $5 off offer from livingsocial to get a pet grooming certificate for $12. A couple of days ago, I used the $10 off code from Groupon for a hot stone massage and body wrap for just under $40.
