Default The pain of living large

I hear you! I only eat out socially. We prefer to share an entree, limit alcohol to one drink, and forget dessert.

Frequent flyer cards help a lot! Once a year the Common Man chain has a coupon booklet for sale as a gift item for Christmas. I prefer to give myself! LOL! 55+ Card at Tbones/Cactus Jack sure adds up fast!

AARP cards are accepted at most chains. Another way to save.

As for insurance, I have diabetes. Tell Melcher and Prescott what conditions you currently have and they will come up with recommendations. I currently have AARP (United Healthcare) supplemental and AARP Walgreens prescription plan. My diabetes medicines are no extra cost.

AARP travel will give me a baseline for trip cost. I shop around using that as a basis. Almost always end up using AARP (Expedia).
