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 :)

3/3 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: Today, I shared my free birthday drink at Starbucks with my daughter. We got a venti Frappuchino - yum. Then we went to Bath & Body Works - just as I got to the register - I realized the validity dates of the coupon were 3/4 to XX. Well, today is 3/3 - but my daughter insisted I ask if I can use them today - sure enough - I could. So, I got a free cologne spray - purse size, free pocket bac, and I used my 20% to buy a new body wash - fresh scent strawberry - larger than the signature scents and costs less too - regularly $8 - and I got it with tax for under $7. Then to Redbox - and we got a free rental with DVDNIGHT promo code. And, I wanted to make a pie using graham crackers for the crust. I thought it might be worthwhile to get it at Rite Aid with my 20% up reward discount. The name brand box was $4.XX - too much. So, close to Starbucks is Aldi - so, I got a box of crackers and 2 dozen eggs for $3.75 including tax. We were going to make a stop at Costco since they have a few good deals this month - but, I will go on Wednesday from work during my lunch break so I can gas the car up and give the fridge a bit of time to make ample space.
