Free Donuts Over 50 - List of Discounts For Young Senior Citizens

I'm Not Getting Older, I'm Getting Discounts



Somewhere in the USA ---- October 2011 ..... Recently, a friend of mine brought me to the movies. As we entered, he informed me that being over 54 one gets a 35 percent discount. I didn't think anything of it because I don't advertise my age and was willing to pay full price. But my Jewish blood kicked in and quietly I showed the cashier my ID.

A few weeks later, as I was waiting in line behind an older gentleman at Wendy's, I heard him ask for his senior discount. The girl at the register apologized and charged him less. When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me that seniors over 55 gets 10% off everything on the menu, every day.

    Being that age myself, I figured I might as well ask for the discount too. As I waited for my turn, I thought about the consequences of doing so. If the employee asked me for I.D., it could be embarrassing having to show my    license. But if she didn't ask for proof, I would get depressed that I really did look "old" and that I didn't need to prove it. Since I always like to save money, I boldly asked for the discount, and sadly she just rang up the discount (even though I am convinced I don't look a day over 34).

    Anyway, this incident prompted me to do some research and I came across a list of restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel deals and other types of offers giving various discounts with different age requirements.

I was actually surprised to see how many there are and how some of them start at the young age of 50.

    This list may not only be useful for you, your friends and family, but it might also be appreciated by your clients. You might consider sending them an e-mail about it and link to our site in the e-mail, or maybe include it in your newsletter.
   
Hmmmm, Dunkin Donuts gives free coffee to people over 55.
If you're paying for a cup every day, you might want to start getting it for free.
