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 :)

2/22 Expressions
Frugal Deeds for the day: My daughter won a poster contest - and a savings bond - it will go toward her education :) UPS delivered my painting supplies. Now, I just need to find paint and stain on sale. I think my daughter has convinced herself that sewing can be a good skill to have. Some of the styles she likes are very simple. She can make simple shirts cheaper than buying them. Yesterday, I sent in a refund for Snapple 6-pack and the stuff tastes pretty good. I used to do a lot more rebates. Then quit. Know they seems to be everywhere again. Oh, and Publix has a good deal on the gelato (sp) that my daughter loves - it is BOGO and I have a competitor's coupon - making it $1.35 per container :) So, tomorrow, I will go to Publix and get her gelato, the penny item, my free Coffee-mate and whatever else I may need to get the total to $10 before coupons to qualify for the penny item.
