With Home Chef, you receive pre-portioned ingredients and detailed recipe cards that make cooking feel effortless.

This discount makes it affordable to add restaurant-quality meals to your holiday menu rotation without the premium restaurant prices.

DoorDash offers another convenient solution when cooking feels overwhelming. Whether you need last-minute side dishes or want to supplement your home-cooked spread with restaurant favorites, AAA Members can earn cash back on their first DoorDash order as a new customer.

Smart grocery shopping

Albertsons and Jewel Osco provide additional grocery options online, offering cash back on fresh produce and holiday must-haves. This partnership is especially useful for last-minute shopping when you discover you're missing key ingredients.
