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 :)

More 9/3 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: While on their inexpensive dinner out, my daughter and husband will stop at Walgreens to pick-up the free Simply Lemonade/Orange Juice (if they are not out). I also asked my daughter to check the trial sized products and see if the new Colgate Sensitive Toothpaste is available - and gave her a $1.50 off any coupon. The coupons from all printed off coupons.com (I went through mypoints for giftcard points, of course :) Also, the crockpot seafood gumbo is delicious. It is enough for several meals. I also chopped up the rest of the okra and froze it for batch later - including 1/2 the shrimp and crab meat. My daughter's friend is inviting over several people and they are baking cakes. My daughter is bring 1/3 cup of heavy cream (really more like 2 cups - because that is what I have left from making the gumbo. They are making 4 different types of cakes - I hope she brings home some samples :)
