Senior Discounts

Keep this list - - - and Send a copy to your senior friends and relatives.

As I was waiting in line behind an older gentleman at Wendy's recently, I heard him ask for his senior discount. The girl at the register apologized and charged him less. When I asked the man what the discount was, he told
me that seniors over age 55 gets 10% off everything on the menu, every day.

Being of 'that' age myself, I figured I might as well ask for the discount too. This incident prompted me to do some research, and I came across a list of restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel deals and other types of offers giving various discounts with different age requirements. I was actually surprised to see how many there are and how some of them start at the young age of 50 .

This list may not only be useful for you, but for your friends and family, too.

Dunkin Donuts gives free coffee to people over 55 . If you're paying for a cup every day, you might want to start getting it for free.

YOU must ASK for your discount !

Wow! KMart has 20% off (50+) Do they check your I.D.? I miss that darn Sunland KMart.

Wow! Quite an extensive list. Never would have thought about it! Thanks for sharing. I'm good on some, but in a few years......

our tujunga goodwill gives 10 percent off everyday to seniors 55 and over. souplantation gives a discount if you're 62 and over. don't know what the percentage is though. sunthrift has 30 percent off for 55 and over- every tuesday from 9am to 1pm. several places that used to be 55, have changed the age to either 60 or 62. i guess there's too many of us-boomers-.
