Perhaps my favorite deal is saving money at Denny’s. The cost of membership pays for itself when I take the kids to Denny’s twice in one year.

Right now, in honor of Black Friday, Join AARP and pay just $9 per year with a 5-year membership and choose your FREE Gift: An insulated Trunk Organizer or Red and Gray Spider Splash Day Bag.

AARP provides you with a wealth of opportunities to save money, play, learn, and volunteer.

Try New Classes with ClassPass!

I saw someone online talking about this last week (and promptly lost the link), and after some searching, I found this offer!
I love to exercise, and I love trying new classes, however, my current gym doesn’t have a lot of classes that are available when I’m available.

ClassPass is an app that helps you find cool new workout opportunities near you! Right now, ClassPass has a 14-day free trial so you can try different classes and fitness centers in your to find a good fit. I love that ClassPass is affordable too. I have a basic gym membership that’s cheaper than a pizza, and I can supplement it with ClassPass.

Whether you want to sweat it out with a HIIT class, unwind with a massage, or stream a yoga class from your home, ClassPass makes it easy to prioritize your health and wellness.

ClassPass gives you worldwide access to thousands of top-rated gyms, fitness studios, salons, and spas.

Looking for something where you don’t have to leave home? Check out these free streaming videos on Amazon Prime.
