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 :)

3/10 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: I gave blood at work and they gave us all t-shirts, snacks and coupons (which I gave away - for places I don't want to eat at, paintball, etc.). So, those who didn't give blood got to enjoy a few goodies to. I purchased a sander on my Lowes Tax Refund Gift Card - the "tax refund" part should hit on 3/18. Today, Red Robin sent me their loyalty card - already I am entitled to a free appetizer and meal for my birthday. Also got in on the Restaurant.Com 80% gift certificate deal and got a certificate to eat out while we are at the beach and one locally - the 80% off code is SAVE and got through mypoints for a few extra points - and I get a few cents back on my credit card too. I tried the sander out and sanded one cabinet door. My husband left a few hardware pieces on - so, I started to take them out when I ran into one that is giving me trouble. I think I will leave that for him. My main focus for the next few weeks is to get the cabinets in order and get one raised bed finished/planted.
