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 :)

3/9 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: My husband and I took a small jaunt over to the next town. First stop, Wal-mart to add some gas to the card - and use up the rest of the Wal-mart gift card. Then we stopped at Burger King - iced coffees for .25 plus tax - the deal ends tomorrow - and the stuff is yummy. Then we stopped at CVS - I needed a few items and I have a discounted gift card. Then to Aldi - each Aldi seems to have different items and prices. Then to Ace - we each got our quart of free paint - and of course we each bought something - I got paint brushes. My husband bought hardware. Then on the way home, we stopped at McDonald's for the seasonal shake - I believe it was called Shamrock? Yummy too. Then home for a nice nap for me while my husband worked on the flooring. Then I baked banana muffins to heat the house up a bit - at the same time - I baked dinner - Aldi crab cakes and some onion rings. I also made 2 salads - potato and green bean/onion/grape tomato. Tomorrow, I need to get some light cleaning done and work on the quilt/pillow cases.
