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 :)

3/26 Expressions
Frugal Deeds for the day: Today, my daughter and I tried out the new beauty school in town. They are a bit faster and cheaper - so, most likely, we will be returning there. I also cashed in for a $25 check from one credit card and a $25 gift card on the other. Please note, we pay our credit cards off each month and do not carry a balance. We stopped at Costco's and got some groceries and tried a few of the samples. Got my gas there too - cents cheaper than where I normally get gas - but not worth it to go just for gas. Oh, and yesterday, I noticed that I had not been credited 500 points for buying a $5 Starbucks e-card through mypoints. So, I e-mailed them, and the points were credited today - but pending until 1 April. Where upon, I plan to cash some points in for another $10 Panera gift card. It pays to keep track of these things.
