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 :)

9/30 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: I got my Brita Pitcher from Wal-mart which was just under $9 and used my $5 off coupons and I will be sending in for a $10 rebate. I also bought a bag of Doritos so that I could have a receipt for 2 - to get a $5 rebate. Today was the last day to purchase for the Doritos form. Nice thing is - I used my Wal-mart gift card - so, no charges to my credit card to pay off. My husband and daughter went to guitar lessons, on the way home, they will stop to get a ream of paper and I will mail in that rebate and they will pick-up the dry cleaning that I used the discount coupon for. I plan to plant a few house plants to donate to my daughter for her yard sale tomorrow. I already donated the pitcher. Hope she gets rid of a bunch of junk that will be a treasure to someone else and she has extra pocket money. Added: In the mail, I got a free survival tool from Savemore.com - quite interesting. I also paid the HELOC down to $0 :) Now on to other goals. The realtor contacted me about beach front properties . . . still no deal to jump at me. Hopefully soon. Our condo association is having its annual meeting in early November . . . good thing because November is a slow month. So, if they can finish the annual condo inspection (to stay in the rental program), we can go down there and make small repairs/updates and attend the meeting. If the realtor can find some great deals by then, we can probably look that weekend too.
