How Seniors Can Participate in Senior Savings

Each retailer defines “Senior” differently, with some using 55 as the magic age, others 60 or 62. So, everyone who has blown out 55 candles should check the business establishments they frequent, to find out whether a Senior Discount is available and how to participate. Some stores require proof of ID and a loyalty card, others simply take the customer’s word that they qualify.

There are several valuable websites dedicated to locating discounts for Seniors. Sciddy.com has a growing database of retailers and service providers who offer discounts to baby boomers. Their website is free and searchable, providing discounts in eleven categories, from auto parts and home repair to entertainment such as bowling and movie theatres.

SeniorDiscounts.us also provides Senior discount information, but requires a membership fee to search the database by location and service. However, members can submit discounts they discover by posting on the site, and those posts are free to view. Joan’s Boomer Blog is helpful for Seniors in general, and addresses discounts in their coupons and freebies section.
