BellaOnline Forums Family Senior Living Looking for Senior Discounts?

I've been searching the interent for the best places for senior discounts and have quite a few articles on my boomer blog, listing where and how to get them. Also, lots of coupon sites, freebies, etc, not just for seniors but for everyone.

If anyone knows of other senior discounts, I'd be happy to add them.

Well, I think you can buy your neighborhood newpapers, I am sure they will tell you where to go for Seniors Discount. They might have coupons for you. And also look for Seniors Magazines too. I hope this helps. I will look for more informations for you.

I did try to copy http: but it didn't work for me. everybody can go to their internets and typed Seniors Discounts. It will take you listing where to get. Restaurants McDonald Restaurant Dunky Donuts Kohl's - clothings Carson's Pirie Scott - Clothing Travels Buses Amtrak There are lot more to look up. Good Luck

Many times to find out if there is a senior discount offered, you have to ask. Many businesses don't offer the info.

I found out Kroger offers a senior membership card and you get senior discounts on many of the foods and especially if you go on Tuesday. this isn't really advertised. When i went with my mom to Fred Meyer in Oregon (a division of Kroger) I asked them if they had the same thing and they do. My mom and sister had never heard of that and they shop there all the time.

The best thing to do is ask.

I agree with BoomerGal. Seems like more and more, and especially with the economy as it is, you have to ask about any kind of discount.

Beall's Department store offers senior discounts (20%) and on the 1st Tues of the month. I think this is Texas stores. for the 50 plus club (age 50 or older).

I've read that you can even bargain on larger purchases anymore, and not just for senior discounts either. I spent 10 years in the military and even got a discount on my electricity because of that.

Our newspaper has a deal too that if you pay for 6 months subscription at one time you get a "press pass" which entitles you to a 20% discount at many restaurants and sometimes a buy one get one free ticket to events, etc. We use it all the time.

An Entertainment book for your area is great too. They always pay for themselves many times over.

OH OH@!@ I just noticed Hancock Fabrics has an extra 15% off the first Monday of every month for seniors (age 55+). WOOT WOOT

We had a Hancock Fabrics here in Arlington, tX but they closed up about 3 years ago. Lucky for you, you still have one in your area.

Has anyone mentioned this one yet? [url=http://www.seniordiscounts.com/]Senior Discounts[/url] Senior Discounts

That's a great website. Thanks sbeamon!

I've just started sewing again and prices are crazy. The Hancock Fabrics discount will be a great help.

No problem, glad I could contribute!

I signed up for their newsletter a couple years ago and have gotten lots of good info from it.

My article this week is on lifelong learning. There are some public colleges and universities that waive or reduce tuition for senior citizens. Since we haven't decided where to retire, I'm adding tuition cost to the pro's and con's of each area.

They are even building some retirement communities on and near a campus and offering special perks to retirees. So many wonderful places to retire - I may have to go for a college town on the beach.

Great idea, Alice. The community college in our city offers classes to seniors which are like continuing education. For a $20 fee we can take any and all of the classes on the list.

There are lots of topics from knitting to tai chi to history and computers.

The Senior Center near us also has lots of craft and health classes.

Learning something new all the time keeps our brain healthier and keeps us from having so many "senior moments."

What a great deal! I may have to retire in your area!
