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 :)

10/14 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: I drove my daughter to school this morning. On the way back, I stopped at McDonald's to redeem my Monopoly game piece for a breakfast sandwich - so many to choose from - except the McMuffin (which has a game piece). Then I purchased 6 hashbrowns - 2/$1 - $3 plus tax. Those will be frozen for future breakfasts since my husband and daughter both like them. I enter 10 of 12 codes in on-line - of course my daughter wants us to win the "Z". Anyway, I won 60 Cokerewards points to get over the 175 points needed today to get the instant $5 off at TGI Fridays. Will give it to my geographical bachelor husband so that he can enjoy lunch there for pretty cheap after the $5 off. I also "won" another breakfast sandwich and a breakfast parfait/ice-cream drink tickets. I am going to put potatoes, onions, and the cheap natural chicken saugage I got from Publix into the crockpot for easy meals the next couple of days - and to use up what we have. Of course I am going to go to my day job for a few hours. Then to Wal-mart to gas-up with my gift card and get a few groceries. There are a few rebate forms - so, I'd like to go ahead and purchase the items and send in for the rebates. Also plan to price match a few produce items with the Aldi ad :)
