I have never thought to ask!

My grocery store (Safeway) gives seniors a 10% discount the first Wednesday of the month.

5% senior discount on Tuesday's at Super Foodtown and 5% discount on Wednesday's at Shoprite.  I do my biggest orders at Shoprite so I do try to get there once a month on a Wednesday - the only problem is the place is loaded with old people - LOL!

I know, right ?

Tops promotes it heavily, so you don't have to ask, they just put something on your regular bonus card, and if your 60 , you're good to go.

On the first Tuesday of every month, folks 55+ are offered a 10% discount.  Very nice, but I wish it could be every Tuesday.

Sorry, forgot to mention its at Fred Meyer.  Since groceries are so expensice here (AK) it would be wonderful if it were offered every Tuesday.

I don't know of any grocery store that offers a senior discount.  Probably because other shoppers would resent the idea of giving shoppers a discount just because they happened to have reached a particular birthday.  It's not like every or even most seniors in this area are living on a fixed income and need the help.  I never thought about but I don't see those types of discounts anymore.  At one time, they were common.    My hairdresser even stopped the 10% discount for seniors on Wednesdays.  Now everyone gets that 10% off for services, excluding color on a Wednesday.

@chrystaltree,Well your area is indeed fortunate, we actually have a senior food pantry, as many of our older people struggle to put food on the table. I really can't imagine that anyone would resent seniors getting a small discount on food, that would be so petty.

The only grocery store I know offers that discount is Harris Teater. I don't know if any other grocery store that offers a senior discount.
