WASHINGTON, Oct. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Many AARP members already know of the discounts available to them on travel-related goods and services, such as car rentals, hotels, vacation packages and cruises. However, they might be surprised to learn they qualify for additional discounts on everyday costs, such as groceries, car maintenance and movie tickets.

"AARP members often tell us they enjoy the popular travel and dining discounts that are available to them," said Angela Jones, senior vice president, business development and lifestyle products at AARP Services, Inc.

However, they might not know they are missing out on additional opportunities to save every day, Jones added. With an AARP membership, Americans 50 and over can unlock the potential to save on electronics, concerts, pet insurance plans, shipping costs and even regular car maintenance.
