4 Ways to Cozy Up This Fall

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."

1. Romantic Night In

Looking for a cozy night in? Look no further than a movie and wine night with your partner.

Choose from over 45,000 episodes and movies, live sports, news, and more with Paramount+. AARP members can save 10% on any plan.

Complete the night by putting together a charcuterie and dessert board with wine pairings. And, the wine doesn’t need to cost a fortune if you’re an AARP member. With Naked Wines, members receive $120 off and complimentary shipping on their first personalized wine order of $179.99 or more. Plus, earn an additional $5 per month in wine credits to put toward wine purchases.

2. Bite-Sized Fall

Sharing delicious meals, drinks and sweets with your honey, family or even your co-workers is a great way to turn your fall evening into an exciting night out. AARP members save 10% on food and nonalcoholic beverages at Bonefish Grill. Dine-in service is available at all locations, while curbside carryout is available at participating locations only.

If you want a crisp treat to match the crisp weather, head to Jamba after dinner. Link your Jamba Rewards account and AARP membership to save 10% every day in-store, in-app and online at all participating Jamba locations.
