Senior Discounts: From Clothes to Groceries to Airfare–No Coupons Required

If you’re helping pay for an elderly parent’s care, every penny probably counts these days—for both you and your parents. So to save a little cash without clipping coupons, you might want to check out the BradsDeals list of 106 businesses that offer senior discounts. It includes restaurants, of course, but also a number of other companies, such as:

• Clothes stores
• Thrift stores
• Grocery stores
• Cell-phone companies
• Hotels
• Airlines

The money-savers website notes:

Since many senior discounts are not advertised to the public, our advice to men and women over 55 is to ALWAYS ask a sales associate if that store provides a senior discount.
