Closing Thoughts

As you can see, there are so many discounts available to seniors. Now, it’s important to note that in our list, we’ve only included advertised discounts for seniors.

This doesn’t mean that there aren’t more discounts out there.

A lot of companies simply don’t advertise that they provide savings.

That’s why we highly recommend carrying your ID with you. Then, you can simply ask at any establishment whether a discount is offered to seniors. Often, one will be, so it’s always worth asking.

And, as we mentioned earlier, we’d highly recommend joining the AARP. As you can see from our list, many of these discounts are exclusively for members of the AARP.

So, you’re really missing out if you don’t join. Membership is so cheap that you’ll make back the cost of it in no time.

Next time you want to eat out, visit a theme park, museum, gallery or event, or want to make a purchase see if you could get a discount.

Follow our list, and never pay full price for many things again!
