So whenu/CamHalfasked, “What membership is 100% worth every penny you pay for it?”
inr/AskReddit, my ears perked right up.
I’m all about a good deal, y’all!
The most used, for me, are the restaurant discounts.
Usually 10%, sometimes 15%.
But also discounts on lodging, vehicle rentals, all kinds of stuff."
I’m using Hand and Stone now."
Seriously, the best decision ever.
Members-only gallery viewings, curator talks, talks by archaeologists, and various things you could volunteer for.
These are not expensive memberships either."

5.Emergency medical transportation:
“I live on an island in Alaska with limited healthcare.
An emergency flight to a more capable hospital will cost $50,000.
For $100 a year, I save $49,900 if I ever need their services.
That $100 covers everyone living under my roof.
There is no limit on the number of flights.
And seniors pay $75.
Of course, the flight isn’t a guarantee.

“Im a paramedic, just heed this information.
The cost isnt outrageous and it saves you if you ever need to use it.
Helicopter bills are expensive and insurance will leave you out to dry on them.
Its in your best interest to inquire about purchasing memberships if theyre offered.”
For giggles, I brought in my college ID.
About $160 a year for 24-hour access to the resort and grounds.
For me, it was my country club.
Pool, big hot tub, gym, sauna.
I was there two to five times a week.
Perfect privacy to detach from the world.”

9.The YMCA(which apparently hasfree childcare!
I go nearly every day and have lost 60 pounds over the last six months.
Its also my only childcare as a stay-at-home mom, so it keeps me sane."

10.AAA:
“Ive had a AAA membership from the day I became a licensed driver.
Ive never regretted it.
At least where I live, they offer DMV services.
License renewal without going to the DMV is priceless.
The best part is that, as a member, it doesnt matter whose car is in trouble.
I was visiting my cousin across the country and his battery died.
I called AAA and they sent someone to assist.”

11.Your local library (which has more than just books!
Absolutely worth the price of free."
u/Lemonbear63
“We got all sorts of cool stuff.
Libraries are the best!”
With the subscription, the correct ones come in the mail, every three months, like clockwork."

14.Cook’s Illustrated:
“Cook’s Illustrated website.
I pay for full access to the CI recipes, America’s Test Kitchen, and Cook’s Country.
Their recipes are outstanding and definitely better than 90% of the stuff you could find for free.”

15.Labor unions:
“My union!
Totally worth a few hundred bucks a year!”
One-time sign-up fee of $30.
I get 10% back on all of my purchases.

18.Calm:
“The Calm app.
It’s $70 per year, so less than 20 cents per day.
I use the Baby Shhh Soundscape every night as my ‘sleep music.’
My brain has now learned that when it hears that rhythmic sound, its time for sleep.
I love it! "

19.And finally, zoo memberships:
“Parents know this one trick: zoo memberships.
