We love to use all the discounts. We also enjoy the different magazines. The website and app are also very useful tools.

I use the AARP Rewards as treats for myself such as spa discounts or reduction in costs for planned travel.  That way it truly feels like a reward for my efforts.

I like AARP Rewards where I learn something new or interesting and get rewarded at the same time. Wonderful program that I hope will continue for the rest of my life!

 I have been taking surveys and using points to purchase Domino's... gift cards to buy food.  I always check the online and paper flyers I receive for BOGOs and sales along with paper and digital coupons.  I make digital lists on the store app along with a paper list and I have a coupon book holder for paper coupons. I wish Walmart.com and others would allow digital coupons or scanned coupons...

I use credit cards that give rewards and plan meals around the grocery specials. Also sign up for the store rewards programs. Order most of my groceries online for free pickup to avoid impulse buying.

I live the Domino's and Ulta gift cards because they allow me to pamper myself occasionally.  

I use the discounts when I can but every month on my phone savings. 

I shop l9cal, use curbside shopping to get better online deals and it stops impulse buying.

I save money with my AARP membership by using the discounts offered for things I already use. The discounted gift cards are great! I also saved enough in hotel discounts when I moved recently that more than paid for my annual membership.

Travel expenses are lower because I no longer commute. Also, I have taken advantage deep discounts for a contractor to replace multiple home roofs at the same time with my neighbor and daughter.
