Senior Perks

Qualifying for senior perks can be a little depressing, although I'm so thankful for everyday of my life, I've gotten over the shock and awe that comes with actually being a senior. Different places have different rules about what their senior age is, so you may have to ask if you don't see it listed. It can start anywhere from 50 years old on usually, although some places make you wait until you're 62. 

Restaurants, theaters, even some stores have senior discounts available. You often have to know about them, although occasionally, the clerk may ask you if you qualify. I don't go that many places where I can claim my privilege. But you can bet I do if it means I can save money.

I love coffee, and I just happen to like McDonald's coffee. That's about the only thing I purchase there (besides the occasional small fries). But I simply ask for a "senior" coffee, and I get the same cup at a cheaper price...and refills are free.

Not bad. It's always nice to be appreciated, and there are many senior discounts available in the neighborhood. So don't be afraid to ask for it if you qualify.
