Join AAA

My husband has been a member of AAA for over twenty years. The first time this came in handy was when we used roadside assistance to get into the car. He accidentally locked his keys in the running car and couldn't get in. He was just about to break out a back window so he could get his keys when I reminded him that he was paying for roadside assistance. We were on vacation in Pennsylvania and breaking out a window would have been a long drawn out mess for us. A guy from Lancaster came quickly and had him in the car in 10 minutes. We were all grateful. We've also gotten stuck on the road a couple of times and the AAA roadside assistance has saved us buckets of money in towing fees. Getting a jump in the dead of winter is nice and once they brought us gas so we could get to the next service station. My husband also does the driver safety course every three years. The class costs $39 for members, but automatically lowers your premium by 10% a year. This adds up to real money. He has saved thousands over the course of the years. Be creative about saving money. Find out the things you can do to lower insurance costs. Shop around for the best rate. Get a car with ABS and daytime running lights. Most of these things are relatively painless but pay big dividends in savings. You can also use the AAA discount to order movie tickets online under entertainment. (A book of 10 is $67.50, $6.75 per movie and they also make nice gifts) or use on vacation to book hotels and get a discount on entrance fees at museums and such. My husband has no problem asking for the discount whenever we go somewhere and I love the savings. Read more Blogs for Knowledge is Power. Wisdom comes from applying that Knowledge.
