			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I came to an article about 5 memberships to consider in order to save money via <a href="http://www.freemoneyfinance.com/2008/10/five-membership.html"> Free Money Finance</a>.  He offers his take on each of them, and I&#8217;ll offer mine as well:</p>
<p><strong>1) Zoos and Aquariums:</strong> I&#8217;d consider it, as we do have a decent zoo up here.  However, this is not a purchase that would save us money, as I don&#8217;t spend anything on the zoo currently.</p>
<p><strong>2) AARP:</strong> I hope to tell you in a couple of decades.</p>
<p><strong>3) Warehouse Clubs:</strong>  Buying in bulk is usually a good cost-saving measure, and we have a lot of decent warehouse options.  I&#8217;m a Costco guy myself, but the who is less important than the savings.  My friends and family tend to save on groceries, of course, but also on electronics of all things.</p>
<p><strong>4) AAA:</strong> It makes its cost back many times over for us every year, as we like to hit a few conventions and go on one longer vacation every year.  The membership also proved quite helpful when our car broke down some years back.</p>
<p><strong>5) Amusement Parks:</strong> This is another one that I would put to use if I had it; however, I would end up spending more than I do now on amusement parks since we only go once a year (usually in the previously mentioned longer vacation).  Our local amusement parks our sub-par, sadly.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure there are plenty of other memberships worth considering, but your mileage will vary.  Just apply it to your circumstances to determine if it will be worthwhile.</p>
