With the cost of everyday expenses continuing to rise, many Territorians are looking for practical ways to stretch their budgets a little further.
While large purchases often get the most attention, it’s often the smaller everyday expenses that quietly add up over time. Groceries, fuel, family outings and regular shopping can all create opportunities to save.
While large purchases often attract the most attention, it is often the smaller everyday expenses that quietly add up over time. Groceries, fuel, family outings and regular shopping are all part of daily life, which means even modest discounts can make a noticeable difference across the year.
One option some people explore is taking advantage of member benefit programs that provide access to discounts across well-known brands and services.
For AANT members, these benefits are included as part of roadside assistance membership. However, many members may not realise just how many different savings opportunities are available or how often they could potentially use them.
Whether you are already an AANT member who has not yet explored the full range of available benefits, or someone considering membership and wondering what additional value it may offer, looking at real examples can help show how these discounts may work in everyday situations.
Below are a few examples of how these savings can appear in regular spending.
Real Examples of Member Savings:
8c off every litre of fuel at United
AANT members can save 8 cents per litre at participating United service stations in the Northern Territory.
On a 60 litre fill, that works out to a saving of $4.80 each time.
It may not feel huge in one visit, but if you fill up regularly, those savings can steadily add up throughout the year.
Save 4% on Woolworths gift cards
For example, if a household spends around $300 per week on groceries, purchasing a discounted gift card first could save $12 on that shop.
Over the course of a year, that could amount to more than $600 in potential savings, simply by purchasing the gift card before doing the shop.
Save up to 40% at Event Cinemas
For a family of four (two adults and two children), saving around $5 per ticket could mean $20 saved on a single movie outing.
On just four visits to the movies in a year, that could add up to around $80 in savings.
5% off almost everything at Repco
For example, if you spent $200 on items such as engine oil, filters or accessories, that discount would save $10 on that purchase.
Used a few times throughout the year when maintaining your vehicle, those savings could easily reach around $30 to $40 across a year, depending on how often the discount is used.
Save 5% with Wizard Pharmacy
If you spent an average of $40 per month on pharmacy items, that 10% discount would save around $4 each visit.
Across the year, those small savings could add up to around $48 in total, helping reduce the cost of everyday essentials such as health products, toiletries or over-the-counter medications.
Exploring the full range of member benefits
The examples above highlight just a small selection of the savings available through AANT Member Benefits.
Across groceries, fuel, entertainment, travel, retail and everyday services, members can access a wide range of offers that may help reduce the cost of things they already buy.
For some people, these discounts simply make everyday spending a little more affordable. For others, using a few of the benefits regularly throughout the year may help offset the cost of membership itself.
Alongside these savings, AANT membership also provides the reassurance of roadside assistance if something unexpected happens on the road.
