It's Either a Discount or It's Free !!!




Want to know why its always good to have Gramma and Grampa pay at the Cash register?

They get discounts. This alone is a good incentive to have them tag along.

People over 50 get 10% off at Church's chicken and 10 % is 10% when you buy a bucket of chicken. at 21 dollars lol

Makes you feel kinda good to know you are still needed for something lol
And seniors being the kids they , may like to rap and hoot and holler with the kids.
What else do they have to do?

There are other discounts you can find on pages like :

The video was hilarious !

I am a quiet distrustful senior ! when it comes to strange discounts.I get discount in museums, movie theatres, expositions, and I can travel for 5 € (7 $) in whole Belgium return ticket and bus and tramway or tubes are free. But this is only from 65 years on.

I love the discounts I get now I'm over 60, especially the free bus pass and free prescriptions, I just wish I didn't NEED the prescriptions! LOL

Gattina thats great. In Hawaii seniors can also bus all over the island for free. When we went there with our soccer team it was summer and we had a 3 bedroom apt.at the Honolulu Hawaii University,where Obama studied, for very cheap and bought a food pass for the cafeteria where three meals a day cost 20 dollars. Its a deal when you see the buffet food they offer. Its good for young families and very centrally located so you don;t have to go far to the beach. The whole island is a beach. lol

Akelamalu - discounts are great. Zellers has a 10% off for seniors at times during the month.
It never hurts to ask. My son now has a discount to go to Whistler since they have him as going once. So its not just for seniors but young people.In todays expensive world, why not use it?
Some seniors live in hotels because a seniors home is too expensive.
When they need a change of scenery, they move hotels.
Hotels like seniors cause they stay a long time.
