I have used AARP for almost ten years, I look forward to signing in every day to get 15 points, I start accumulating my points to purchase various gift cards for grocery stores, dinning or vacation. AARP offers long term insurance, car insurance you name it AARP has it. I love the beginning of the month, I get up a little earlier to try and grab the gift cards available to purchase with points. I appreciate the knowledge through the videos and quizzes to enrich our minds with day-to-day information. AARP has been a big part of my life, and through this journey I have definitely saved thousands. One of my favorite AARP purchases are always the discounted Panera gift cards my husband and I get to go out on Friday nights to meet up with friends. It offers a cozy meeting place with good food and best of all you don't pay a tip. The socialization is a huge part of all of our lives, thank you AARP it motivated me to go out and move my joints. Thanks to AARP, I have a big chunk of savings to have a spectacular 60th in two months with my granddaughter in Florida. While in Florida will use my AARP membership card to get discounts at Denny and other restaurants when I show my favorite and fabulous red card. God Bless AARP and the entire staff. Thank you for all you do!

I make a grocery and supply list.  But, that list is flexible.  If a product I use frequently is on-sale, I stock up on that item.  I use digital and paper coupons.  I buy some meats or fish that are on sale that week.  I also go to some grocery stores that offer a senior discount day.  I also keep a warehouse club membership for wholesale discounts and bulk buying.

The gift cards for earned points are always useful with no expiration dates, and the videos have lots of interesting knowledge/reminders.

 I have saved money in a Walmart Instant Win. I cooled down on a hot day with some free ice cream bars. I also saved on some spring weight tops from Land’s End and a beautiful off season sweater from LL Bean. Plus, I was able to take my girlfriends out for a discounted dinner at Applebees back in December.

Buying gift cards at a discount, for example I have bought Lowes gift cards at a discount for an appliance purchase. I  had used the cards I got for points to buy gifts.

I love the sweepstakes you offer on your app! I'm always earning points (and learning something new) watching your videos and taking quizzes. With the points I earn I use them to enter the contests for various gift cards. I also enter offered contests such as this one. 🤞🍀

 For CVS I'm a member of the rewards program and I find I save a lot including getting 30% off promotions from them. Also I shop during holidays, for clothes for example, so I get the sales. I also have credit cards that give me points and airline miles which saves me a lot.
