Smart Clubbing

Coupons aren’t the only way to save. 🙂 Here is some information about a few clubs that I belong too and why.

For reading fiends:

Barnes & Noble  $25/year.

I love to read and have a rather huge book collection. I also love magazines. When I visit Barnes & Noble I usually walk up to the cashier with an arm load of both and leave with an empty wallet. I would always consider the membership, but would choke at the $25 price so I’d never signed up. I finally did and it is seriously worth it. First of all I want to point out that your membership applies to more than books and magazines. Getting Starbucks AND a discount. *angels singing* YAY!

$50 in bonus coupons upon sign up.
40% off hardcover(crazy expensive) best sellers. 10% off of almost everything else.
Exclusive offers snail or emailed to you. (Not constantly spammed either.)
FREE express shipping (1 – 3 days) on Barnes & Noble.com
$25 off a Nook Color or Nook Table.

For travelers:

AAA  $48-124/year

Not just about cars. The things I use my membership the most for is zoos/theme parks & hotel rooms. They also offer instant savings at THOUSANDS of online shops, restaurants, travel and insurances.
