Happy anniversary of your birth!So, what does the man who has everything get for himself on such a day? Or was the forklift an early b-day present?“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk

welcome to the senior club
1. Save At The Kroger Family Of Grocery Stores
Many stores (but not all) that are part of the Kroger family have a monthly “seniors day” for customers who are 55 or older. It’s typically the first Tuesday or Wednesday of each month, and you need a store loyalty card or account to get the 10% discount.
Here are some of the Kroger grocery stores that offer the discount:
- City Markets
- Fred Meyer
- Fry’s
- King Soopers
- Pick ‘n Save
- Ralphs
2. Save On Your AARP Membership
Having an AARP card gives you access to many discounts. Check the AARP Benefits page to see all the potential savings you can get on hotels, car rentals, groceries, drug store purchases and more.
The membership itself is discounted for the first year if you sign up for auto-renewal. More good news: You only need to be 50 to join.
3. Make $150 Bonus On The AARP Credit Card
Once you’re an AARP member you’ll probably get an offer for the AARP Rewards credit card, which typically comes with a nice bonus. I got the card and made a quick $150 for charging $500 on it in the first 90 days (that more than covered my $12 AARP membership).
Wait a few weeks for the best offer to come by mail, because the deal advertised online is usually not as good.
4. Buy A Condo For Less
My wife and I have owned and lived in both condos and regular houses. We’ve found that it’s simpler, but also cheaper to live in a condo, even after paying HOA dues. And when I turn 55 we might move a few hundred yards from our current one-bedroom condo to nicer a two-bedroom 55+ condo that costs the same.
You see, the best deals on condos are often in 55-and-up complexes. The limited market means condos in these places tend to sell for less, even when they’re the nicest ones around.
5. Live For Less In A 55+ Mobile Home Park
In mobile home parks that are for 55-and-up the lot rent isn’t always cheaper, but some of these places have organized as condominiums.
If you find one of that has gone with this arrangement the total cost of living is usually very low, and you effectively own the space your home is on, so you don’t have to worry about being asked to move your mobile.
6. Save On Clothing And Home Goods At Bealls
Join Bealls 50 Plus Club and you can save up to 20% one day per week. Check locally because the discount and days vary. For example, Bealls Florida stores offer a 15% discount, plus free coffee on Tuesdays.
7. Stay At Best Western For Less
Best Western hotels offer 15% off to “seniors” 55 and up. Some of their 4,200 hotels are excluded from the deal, and “You will be asked to provide proof of age at check-in.” See the list further along for more hotel discounts.
8. Eat Out For Less At Denny’s
Many restaurants offer some kind of discount for seniors, but Denny’s does it a little differently. They have a special 55+ menu. Presumably these items cost less than they would if available to everyone. See the list below for more restaurant discounts.
9. Snack For Less At Dunkin’ Donuts
Dunkin’ Donuts no longer offers free donuts to AARP members (it couldn’t last), but many locations still have a discount for those who are 55 and older. You’ll find more coffee shop and snack discounts on the list below.
10. Save On Your Next Oil Change
Many Valvoline Instant Oil Change locations offer a 10% discount if you are 50 or older. Check their website for coupons as well (many franchisees will let you use a coupon and the senior discount at the same time).
11. Get A Discount On Auto Parts
Pep Boys offers a senior discount of 10% on auto parts and supplies if you’re 55+ (check your local store for details).
12. Save On Thrift Store Purchases
Shopping at thrift stores is already a great way to save money, and it gets even better when you shop at Salvation Army stores. They offer a senior discount of 10% if you’re 55 or older (at Goodwill you need to be 60).
13. Save On Phone Service
The Sprint 55-Unlimited plan is available to anyone who is 55 or older. The current offer is $35 per line for two lines. More phone discounts are on the list below.
14. Get 20% Off At Walgreens
This is one of the best drugstore discounts for seniors and almost-seniors. Walgreens gives you 20% off most items every Tuesday if you’re 55 or older, and sometimes you can even get the deal at 50 if you have an AARP card.
15. Fly For Less
British Airways gives you a discount if you’re an AARP member and 55+. Currently you save $65 on economy tickets and $200 on business class. You’ll find more airline discounts for senior citizens (60 and older) below.
