A Frugal Mom's Financial Expressions

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 :)

7/25 Expressions

Frugal deeds for the day: Today, at work, a co-worker gave me bagful of tomatos grown in her garden - I had a tomato sandwich for dinner - it was delicious. Mail call: $30 check for being a good mail decoy, 3 hair care samples from Aveda to tame the frizziness, a coupon for a free single serving bag of Skittles, my PF Chang giftcard from Cardpool. Bad news, HOA thinks we should trim our scrubs some more :( I need to get the pretty flowers planted asap.
