Father’s Day Weekend Edition

Happy belated Father’s Day to all you Dads out there. I just celebrated my first one, which Mrs. PT did a great job of making extra special. The holday reminded me of how lucky I am to be a Dad and the huge responsibility I have to protect my family and their future. Now that I’m a Dad, two financial products become more important, in my mind: college savings and life insurance. I’m promising that I’ll try and kick-start both this week.

One of the things we got to do this weekend was swing by T.J. Maxx and Marshalls and spend our two $25 gift cards. Similar to my previous reveiw of these discount stores, I was most impressed with T.J. Maxx in terms of store cleanliness, organization, and service. At T.J. Maxx we picked up the following with our $25: a small picture frame, two books for little Miss PT, and a t-shirt for Mrs. PT. They also threw in a re-usable shopping bag (a special they were doing last weekend only). Unfortunately we ran out of time and couldn’t make a decision on anything at Marshalls. I was definitely pleased with our purchases overall though and will be back to both stores soon.
