I use the information in quizzes and the points I earn to make informed decisions about products and to save money on them. I like playing instant win and entering sweeps, but also using the cards to defray costs on food, books, and travel!

 I use my card at motels and restaurants for the discounts. I also use my rewards points for discounted gift cards. Each month I also check for updated membership benefits for new deals.

I use my rewards points like a lottery ticket to win gift cards. If I win it helps supplement my budget and stretch my savings dollars.

My husband and I are moving soon, we have AARP and that has saved us tremendously when looking for moving trucks. We have also received discounts on hotels for the travel back as well! I have also been looking into going to restaurants that offer discounts.

I have the AARP app on my phone and always check to see if there is a discount for a restaurant that I am in or am thinking of going to. I ALWAYS check for discounts when buying thickets for the grandkids; Legoland, Sesame....

We make sure we first maximize our 401k contributions and paid off our mortgage, Then we know how much money we have left to work with. We limit eating out and make home cooked meals instead because it is healthier, tastes better and we save lots of money especially with tips. We shop at Aldi and save a lot every week shopping there. We reduce food waste and buy clothing only what we really need or love.
