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 :)

11/11 Expressions
Today is a day of rememberance for our Veterans. I want to say thank-you for your service. Yesterday, I made a quick stop at Publix. The cashier was so excited - I "saved" $60 and spent $33 - I told her I had a $10 rebate on my turkey - so, when I get that rebate, my out-of-pocket is even less. Be on the look out for rebate forms. My turkey was almost 19 lbs - and $10.78 - I have my rebate for $10 ready to go - so my out of pocket for the turkey is .78 plus tax. I don't count postage since I generally don't buy stamps for envelopes - remember - I am a "mail decoy" and get 10 postage stamps per month for my services :) Nice company - they send me a tin of cashews in December and every once in a while - a bonus check - once a year - last time it was $30. Thanksgiving dinner does not have to be expensive - lots of sales and match-up coupons abound.
