Savings for Senior Citizens

Did you know that many fast food places, restaurants, and other retail outlets offer a senior discount? Most restaurants that I go to give a 10% discount, and many of the fast food chains will either give you at least a 10% cash discount or a free drink with no minimum purchase. All you have to do is just ask, and 99% of the time you will get it!

Here in Mississippi we have restaurants called "Huddle House." They give senior discounts if you ask for them. Another restaurant is Shoney's. Most restaurants will give you senior discounts if you ask them, doesn't hurt to ask.

I live in Houston, Tx. and there are several stores that give seniors discounts. One is our local Krogers stores, if you have a Kroger shoppers card they give you a 10% discount on certain items you purchase plus the regular discount you get from using your card.

There is also a Mrs. Bairds Thrift store that give seniors discounts and on Wednesdays for every $2.00 you spend you get 1 free item off of their free item rack so if you spend $6.00 you would get 3 items free off of their free item rack.

I have gotten things like Sunmaid Cinnamen Swirl Raisin Bread, Mrs. Bairds (5) count Box of Cherry Pies, Mrs. Bairds Dinner Rolls, Hamburger Buns and Sandwich Rolls, A large Mrs Bairds Powered Suger Donuts and several others items.

We all need all the help we can get so I hope these 2 items help you.

Hi Las Vegas Angel,
You are so right! Not only do you get the savings, the clerks are so friendly and will even suggest other places you might not think of to obtain those blessed senior discounts. Ask and ye shall receive!
