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 :)

2/17 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: I took today off of my day job. Dropped my daughter off at school and stopped at Kroger on the way home. Today, I hit the "Manager's Special" jackpot :) I found something in every department and things I really appreciate. My husband loves brie - it was on a "special". Then to Publix - just got a few BOGO items with coupons - the cashier commented that I "saved" more than I "spent". I said it works for me. May be she will be inspired to use a few herself. Dropped the stuff offf and got stuff ready for the dry cleaners - with my .30 off each item discount coupon. Since I didn't want to waste a trip - I stopped at the "Y" and did a bit of cardio. Now I am going to do a bit of heavy duty cleaning before the granite counter top person comes so he won't report me to the health department (ok, just kidding - but I do need to straighten-up a bit). Later today, my daughter and I will eat a salad, then head to Credit Union meeting. Another freebie we will pick-up, a pair of panties from Victoria's Secret.
