Extensive List of Senior Discounts Courtesy of ClipperGirl's Saving Spot.

Directly from this post: We often post about retailers that offer discounts for children, but I thought I would post about retailers that offer discounts for Seniors.


Senior discounts at restaurants vary from restaurant to restaurant. They can range from free coffee, two for one specials, senior menus and discounts. Since restaurant employees are trained to not suggest senior discounts in order to prevent offending their customers; it is a good idea to ask whether the restaurant offers senior discounts or menus.

Just as the discount can vary at each restaurant, so does the age. Some restaurants consider 50-55 as "senior", others don't consider you a "senior" until you reach 60-65. Be prepared to show proof of age. Some locations simply take the word of a "mature" person that they meet age requirements, while others require proof such as driver's license or stated identification card.

Be sure to ask ahead of time since franchises do have some leaway as to how they operate.
