Good Things Come to Those Who Wait!

The first thing I look for when reading a magazine are specials, offers, and sweepstakes. I went to take my mom to her neurologist appointment the other day and while I was sitting in the waiting room I read an edition of AARP magazine. I don't recall what month it was for.

While I was sitting there I came across some valuable information which apparently not even my mother knew. We frequent quite a few of the restaurants which serve breakfast all day. They serve fresh coffee any time of the day with consistent coffee refills which is very important to us. Yes we live a very exciting life with the best outing being able to go and sit down and have fresh coffee served to us at a table rather than having to fix it and pour it ourselves.  It makes it taste so much better.

I discovered one restaurant we frequent often offers a 20% discount on the ticket and $1 coffee for all the guests by browsing through the magazine. I thought about how much money we could have saved if I had known about that sooner. While I waited I wrote down several websites with information, coupon and discount offers for AARP.  I can see my mom saving a lot of money.

We now realize we should check most places we shop for discounts for AARP members for my mom as well. Some offer discounts up to 30% for AARP members.  I think it is great how companies reinvest in the people who helped make this country what it is today.
