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 :)

7/10 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: Since I had a $3/$15 coupon for Rite aid and Sunscreen was BOGO1/2 and I have a rebate form for $6 on sunscreen when I spent $10 - I headed out for Rite Aid. In addition to getting cheap sunscreen, I stopped at McDonald's with the BOGO Smoothie/Frappe/Lemonade coupon and my daughter and I each got one of the Mango/Pineapple Smoothies - yummy :) Other than that, I am going to attempt to give myself a hair trim. We purchased thinning scissors for $2 in Canada. They almost got confiscated at the airport - we forgot to pack them in the check-in bag. Anyway, they measured the blade and it was just under whatever the size to seize was. I also purchased a 2.5 year planner for $3 at Wal-Mart a couple of days ago. I am going to go back to using a planner and making notes. I think that will help simpify my life. In my younger years - I used one all the time. Then I quit because I had a good memory. Uh, not so much any more and with more activities than my own to track - I think this will give me a peace of mind - and less time wasting calling to find out the time of my appointment, etc.
