There’s More Retailers That Offer Senior Discounts Than You’d Imagine

    While I can’t use any of these myself (cough, cough) some of you may find this list interesting–I know this will undoubtedly be my sister’s favorite post for sure.  I was not aware that this many retailers offered senior discounts (where I work doesn’t…) but there are quite a few out there if you just ask for them.

 

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 — get 10% off everything on the menu, every day. (But you need to ASK for your discount.)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. Remember, YOU must ASK for your discount! Also, for military discounts, visit this great list, for student discounts, visit this awesome list.
