Savings for Seniors

Many senior citizens are retired and have fixed incomes, which makes it harder to make ends meet each month. Luckily, seniors become eligible for discounts practically everywhere when they reach a certain age. We’ve put together a comprehensive list of the available senior discounts but you should definitely ask about senior discounts whenever you go shopping, dine out or go out on the town. You will be pleasantly surprised with all the discounts that aren’t advertised!

AARP stands for American Association of Retired Persons, but you don’t have to be retired to get a membership. Anyone 50 years old or older can obtain a membership for only $16.00 per year. Your partner/ spouse will also get a free membership. Other membership options include three years for $43.00 or five years for $63.00.
