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 :)

9/30 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the week: Tonight I attended the free Martha Stewart class at the Home Depot. We were given organizers, a booklet, and 20 cokerewards points. I had 10 points in my account, so plus the 20 points gave me enough to order another coupon for a free 20 oz drink. Yesterday at work, there was a work function and a local business provided a nice, healthy free lunch and drink, and lots of other sponsors provided freebies. I am "off" tomorrow, so, I will organize my coupons/deals and go grocery shopping in the morning. Saturday, our town is having a street festival - so, we may attend that. I also scrounged around the house and found all the supplies necessary to upcycle the flipflops I purchased for .75. I was inspired by a design I found on a craft blog. So, that and finishing off two pair of knitted slippers tomorrow - and may be a bit of deep cleaning should keep me plenty busy - after a I sleep in a bit :) Oh, and good today only, I used the code WOW for 90% off and went thru mypoints and ordered 2 more $25 off gift certificates at Restaurant.com - they were $1 each.
