AAA shopping tips
Did you know you can use AAA member discounts to save money at retail stores like Circuit City, Target and Barnes & Noble?
AAA says only 4 percent of members know that they are eligible for discounts with retailers. Even so, AAA says that amounted to savings of $28 million last year.

Hi Eileen,
Thanks for the tip on using my AAA card to get shopping discounts. I've been a member for many years and never knew that was one of the benefits.
Great tip, and especially useful this time of year!
Yes, AAA takes good care of its members. I also signed up for special offers at Pier One. I receive frequent coupons for discounts and special sales, all thru the magic of e-mail.
Happy shopping!

Great column Eileen. Look forward to reading more. Lissa
I had several great shopping experiences this weekend, but the one I wanted to tell you about was late Saturday night.
I was getting ready to go out to the theatre alone, as my wife was not interested, and too tired (bless her) to see a late showing of Casino Royale.
I had a half hour to spare before having to leave for the Moorestown Mall movie house, so I sat down at my computer and checked my shopping sites to see if they had come up with any new deals.
Indeed, they had.
I opened to slick deals and the offer was meant for me:
1 free ticket to any movie from Fandango.
Three hours later, I emerged from the movie house very happy that the new Bond was in good hands. I decided that it was the best $11 I never spent!
P.S. I love your column and writing and tips and hope you will write in the future about high tech on a low budget
That's a great reminder to do your homework before you shop. And for my money, there are only two means -- or channels as we call them in Media Land.
The first is the newspaper, with its ads and circulars, although I must confess I'm partial to print. The other is the Internet.
With either one, you can head out to the store with coupons, promotional offerings -- and, most important, information you can't get from a 10-second radio ad or TV commercial.
