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 :)

10/21 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: My husband and I picked out the tile for our kitchen/laundry. We went slightly over the allowance given to us - but, it would be worth it. It would be less than $100 for better quality - but the line is being discontinued. Then we went to the new Aldi. I spent just over $11 in there and ended up with a lot of food. I just picked up the lost leaders. Three of the four envelopes my daughter and I sent out for free McDonald's game pieces came in the mail. Yippee - they each had 4 game pieces. Just out of this bath - we received a free sandwich, free breakfast sandwich, free fries, 30 Cokerewards points, and 20 free snapfish photos :) Plus, I have 8 codes to load on line tomorrow. I am thinking the gifcards I ordered came today - as we have certified mail awaiting us. We will buy the hot water heater tomorrow with the gift card and 10 percent off coupon. I have a free redbox code - may see a free movie tonight. Tomorrow, my daughter and I will be getting our 1 hour facial with our Groupon certificate. Added: I redeemed 450 swagbucks for another $5 Amazon.com gift card. I may use my Amazon $ for the condo inventory. I found a foreclosed condo that caught my eye . . . just need to do some research.
