In one old Seinfeld TV show episode, on a visit to Florida, Jerry Seinfeld learned a hard lesson. It was to not resist his retiree parents\u2019 habit of early-bird dining to get a discount.\u00a0 Discount or not, Jerry refused to eat so early. By bucking his parents’ lifestyle, he and his parents ended up with unexpected complications. (It only happens that way on a TV show of course!)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Hunger will make people do amazing things. I mean, the proof is cannibalism.” (Jerry Seinfeld)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hunger has not driven me THAT far, but I am apparently turning into Jerry\u2019s parents. Like them, retired me now has a quest to find those dining bargains also. In addition, as covid restrictions lift, I find going out to eat has gained more significance. Eating out-scarce during lockdowns- is now even more of a treat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But back to the bargains… Thankfully there are some reasonable dining bargains out there. AARP has lists of participating restaurant\/fast food discounts. These range from IHOP, Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, Corner Bakery, Rainforest Cafe, McDonalds to Fisherman\u2019s Wharf, Denny\u2019s, Dairy Queen, or Sonic.\u00a0 Lists change, so check (https:\/\/www.aarp.org\/membership\/diningbenefits.) or call the place to see if they still participate.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
