10/10 Expressions

Just noticed today is 10/10/10 :)  We just came back from our beach condo.  We had a working vacation.  This was fall break for my daughter.  We ate out three times with restaurant.com gift certificates purchased either at 80 or 90 percent off.  We did a bit of outlet mall shopping - in addition to sales, we purchased 25% off coupons for $1 each which goes to support breast cancer research.  This was our first year to attend the shrimp festival.  The food was good and plentiful.  And Geico had a booth and gave us free cinch sacks.  I was happy to see that the DOW went slightly over 11,000 on Friday.  We don't have cable at home - but do at the beach - so, we watched a bit of reality tv too.  To cut costs, I brought snacks, drinks, breakfast items from home.
