I eat at one of these places at least once a week so why not save money in the process. Places include Landry&#8217;s Brand Restaurants, Outback, Papa Johns, Regal Cinemas, Denny&#8217;s, Dunkin&#8217; Donuts, etc. Usually they have specific days of the week when you can get your discount. I usually stack this discount with coupons that many of these places offer like free appetizers to get even more savings!<\/p>\n<p>They even have a<a href=\"http:\/\/discounts.aarp.org\/savings\/aarp-travel\/hotels-andamp;-resorts\/uSource\/MTTCET\/categoryId\/401\/subCategoryId\/402\" target=\"_blank\"> travel deals section <\/a>where you can save up to 20% off select brands. I&#8217;ve never used these and I&#8217;m not sure how good these deals are compared to other deals. I&#8217;m sure there are better deals out there but I guess you never know.<\/p>\n<p>If you happen to get a membership, know that they won&#8217;t send you a physical card unless you are over 50. You will have to print it out. Have you used your AARP card and what for?
