I've purchased discounted gift cards to use which always helps me save - especially the Lowes cards to purchase plants for the season!

II use the points that I earn by watching videos and taking quizzes to redeem for gift cards that I use to reduce my cost for shopping and eating out.  Occasionally, I will use points for free magazine subscriptions which saves a lot of money.  I also enter the instant wins for the chance to earn an extra way to save money on my shopping and eating.

Earning points via videos and quizzes and redeeming them for gift cards and sweepstakes entries is a Win Win!  I learn from the earning activities and save money on the redemptions.

 I love saving money wherever I can and one of the ways is by doing the AARP quizzes and watching the videos.  I also learn alot while doing them.  I then cash out my points for gift cards, usually to restaurants.  It's nice to eat out but save money at the same time.  I've also bought discounted gift cards from AARP when they have their daily gift card special that is steeply discounted.  Love it.  Thank you so much AARP.

I keep up with earning points to cash in for gift cards and enter the sweepstakes. I also enjoy learning with the short quizes and content about how to improve my health. I use the movies for grownups instead of going to the movies. I have also listened to concerts and do the meditation and physical workouts in AARP which saves me paying for those activities at a gym or center.
