(BPT) - With pumpkin-themed food lining the grocery stores and the arrival of sweater weather, it can only mean one thing - autumn is in full swing! This beloved season lends itself well to cozy date nights and spending quality time with the people you care about. Now is the time to start planning fun activities, without having to worry about breaking the bank. AARP members have the opportunity to gather creatively - and save money at the same time. From a movie night in, to delicious treats and sweets out on the town, AARP members can take advantage of a variety of unique ideas for a fall outing with big discounts.
"The fall season is a treasure trove of outdoor activities and seasonal traditions, making it an ideal backdrop for memorable date nights and gatherings," said Elvira Christiansen, Director of Retail and Loyalty for AARP Services. "AARP members seek creative and curated experiences that allow them to connect with loved ones while being mindful of their budgets. The benefits and discounts that come with an AARP membership offer wonderful opportunities to create cozy, meaningful gatherings without breaking the bank."
