AARP Rewards Online Community Budget Contest 2025

I shop for groceries at Aldi, I compare prices and I'm saving a lot at Aldi. I don't need a car where I live because everything is in walking distance and I love to walk. I save on not paying car for car insurance, gas and car repairs. We have a free bus that takes us everywhere and to the Mall even the hospital if the weather is bad and I can't walk. It picks me up in front of my condo and drops me off there. I have a bus schedule. I don't miss driving because the traffic is so busy here. I eat out only once in a while because I love cooking. 

       It's all about the discounts, gift cards and new ideas...oh my!  Great content and usually a nugget or two in the videos!

I stopped eating and drastically cut down on my TP expenses

This is my first  year with Aarp. I have enjoyed watching the zoom classes  on

Senior Planet. Many of them are about saving money. You can purchase discounted cards and redeem points to get  egift cards. Also download Rakuten/Retail Me Not to even get cash back. Don't forget to take advantage of Stores/Restaurants or Entertainment places to get your Senior Discount!!

We’ve saved on hotels & rental cars when we travel. Also, I’ve won Intant Wins & saved money on gifts & restaurants. I use my points to enter the Instsnt Wins that I earn from taking quizzes. The quizzes are very informative & some provide ideas on saving money!

 I use my gift cards to purchase clothes, food, and other items to help with my budget. It is like getting free money. I hope to win a big sweepstakes one day. Thanks AARP for providing this benefit.

 I save my gift cards and purchase food, toys, and other items. I have learned from the videos and quizzes! 

Always Helpful hints even if You already knew about them we all tend to forget, like asking for senior discounts.I add to my savings by looking at every shelf for mark downs and buy only what I know I'll use..

After several years of enjoying my AARP membership through informative, entertaining articles and fun quizzes which i most always learn something from, I retired, so with the extra time on my hands  I dove into the other areas of the site like rewards, where in a short time, I've saved about $60 through purchases of Lowes, Total With, Cracker Barrell and I Hop prepaid discounted cards so far, which I was going to purchase from anyway. Plan on looking every day moving forward to see what offers  are new and fit my needs. Don't wait like I did, before you make a purchase, see what savings are available. I plan on making all my past membership dues plus much more savings in coming years. Haven't won any instant spins yet, but onward! 

Love to use the free redeemed gift cards and the discounted purchased gift cards!!!!
