I had forgotten over the years about using my senior discounts.

I wasn't able to copy the long list because I have a stupid laptop lol but it's worth a look! Google the complete list of senior discounts for 2023. 

The list covers everything from grocery, travel, hotels, fast food chains, retail, rental cars, activities and entertainment, etc... 

Some start at 50 years old. 

You must ask for your discount!

I always ask for a senior discount, all they can do is say no.

The retailers in my neck of the woods will only honor "50" if you have an AARP card.

good reminder, I usually don't think about asking for it. We had a group of us who went to the movies (before covid) and we were behind a bunch of younger people. When we got to the front of the line, the person working the ticket counter gave us all the senior discount (we didn't ask for it and none of us were over 50 at the time). We sort of laughed about it since I guess the contrast between the 6 adults vs the teenagers made her decided we deserved it.

lol that's the one place I always used it for but I think you have to go at a certain time but I like saving a few bucks.

And, for many you must have an AARP membership or be on government assistance.

I looked at the list and noticed that many of the stores are not in my area and most are for services I don't use.

There is a family owned grocery store in my area that offers discounts on Wednesday and yes, you have to ask.

I don't need a discount now, but could have used one when my kids were young and we didn't have much money.

@Carmie , I agree.  I see so many families in the store with overflowing carts and I don't know how they do it.  I guess we are blessed being older we can afford what we need.  That is not the case in all instances.  It breaks my heart when working at the food pantry a man or woman will come in to sign up and they are in their 80's/90's.

My vet gives a 10% discount on most services and I have 3 cats so it does come in handy. I'm always appreciative of any discount given.

I just asked for a senior discount at Taco Bell the other night and was told they do not have one but seniors get free drinks! Can't hurt to ask! Thanks for the reminder.

Kohl's gives seniors 15% discount every Wednesday on top of their coupons & sales if you ask.  Non-seniors get it too as the cashiers never ask for ID.

So Jersey folks.......There is one Kohl's store that gives the senior discount every day if you ask!  It's the one across the street from the Cherry Hill Mall.
