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 :)

7/12 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: My husband did a great job shopping for appliances at Lowes last night for our foreclosure house. He got a black stove/fridge and a white washer/dryer - all brand new, will be delivered and installed free. Originally, just over $2,000. Yeterday was the last day for 10% on 3 of the brands. Plus, I had e-mailed for a 10% off coupon. Next, he had those discounted giftcards from plastic jungle (saved about $40 on $600 worth) - so, after discounts, he paid $9XX on his credit card. His employer will be reimbursing him just over $1K for closing/misc expenses. So, I figure the rest of the change can go toward paint - and eventually - change out the flooring ourselves - install laminate - hopefully we will be approved for those credit cards to get the $500 Lowes or Home Depot Gift Cards :)
