Subj: Senior Discounts
Date: Monday, February 11, 2013, 12:02 AM

Keep this list - - - & 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 & charged him less. When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me that seniors, age 55 & over, get 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 & I came across a list of restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel deals & other types of offers giving various discounts, with different age requirements. I was actually surprised to see how many there are & how some of them start at the young age of 50.

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

Dunkin' Donuts gives free coffee to people age 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 !

[Remember; verify all senior discounts, as the policy could change per location and/or store/store manager. It's much simpler to inquire about them, whenever one is purchasing.]
