Despite what those "age defying" wrinkle creams might tell you, getting older needn’t be a negative. Grandchildren, social security checks and lots of awesome mail from the AARP are all perks of our "golden years." Plus you can nod off at any family gathering you choose, and nobody will wake you up! But perhaps the biggest bonus of all for frugal seniors like Gift Card Granny is an onslaught of discounts for everything from groceries and clothing to travel and, of course, restaurants. (And no, not just for the early bird special.)
The age threshold for cashing in varies, but many start at only 55. Since 50 is the new 40, that means you'll have plenty of years to rake in the savings!
Other deals require a bit more grey hair and life experience, but many are well worth waiting for. Take a look and let us know if you find any other senior discounts we should mention. And if you're too young for this list, respect your elders and pass it on to grandma or grandpa. Please call your local store location before visiting because offers are subject to participation.
Granny Tip: Combine your senior discount with a discount gift card for even more savings.

how do we get can you send something
Avinger says:
Try Restaurant.com which offers $25 restaurant gift certificates for $10. They have specials often and I have seen as much as 80% off so that the total you pay for the gift certificate is $2. Sometimes have to spend $35 to use your $25 gift certificate but you have received $35 of food for $2. The restaurants are located in all parts of the country. Pretty good deal! This is for ALL ages.
Maryanne says:
If you live near a Wegman's store, Tuesdays mean a 5% discount for seniors. (much like a Walmart without the clothing department)

Thanks Granny, for all the work that went into this list. We don't do many hotels, sit down restaurants and airlines, but the Salvation Army and Wendy's info will be useful.
Sherry Oyster says:
Great to have this information
Gayla says:
Such a nice surprise reading this email and then to have tacky people make rude remarks about a typo???? What is wrong with these mean spirited old people. I love my retirement life and look for the cup half full. Happiness is a choice but if dogging other seniors makes you feel superior, do what you must!
debbie kohler says:
i think this list is very helpfull to seniors, and a very nice to know these things especially when we are on a set income and prices keep raising on everything.

Thank you for all the work to compile this info, and with the way things are......these discounts really offer some help...if we could only get some discounts on our mortgages from the banks!!!!
PJW says:
Harris Teeter discount is now on Thursdays, not Tuesdays
M Lewis says:
First I must say, what a wonderful website!!! I'm glad it was sent to me. I did find 1 error, though. It says that Dressbarn's discount is for 65 and older, but it's actually 55. I shop there frequently and I know for a fact that it's 55. Thanks again for helping us seniors get those much needed discounts. :-)
Richard Fowler says:
I found several that I can use. Thanks
Elenita says:
Comes in very handy, thank you.
Hokey Sloan says:

Joan P. says:
Thanks for this great tip! I would make use of it.
Dr_Mike says:
I'm not a senior (yet), but I am, unfortunately, retired. I was wondering if you knew of any businesses or retailers that provide discounts for the disabled (?).
vinny says:
thanks it will help
JOHN ROZZO says:
GREAT IDEA FOR ALL SENIORS IN THIS COUNTRY. THANK YOU
Phil D. says:
Choice Hotels (Sleep Inn, Comfort Inn,etc. ) discontinued the 20-30 % discounts for 60 some time ago,however the 10 % discount is usually available.
Sheila says:
thanks! I posted this link on Facebook. All my senior friends could use this great information.
Marc says:
This is good for those that need it. I have a son with three hungry teen sons and a daughter raising 4 on her own. They could use some help, too. "Fixed income"! Even medical services can't raise their fees whenever they need more money--and if they do, the Government/Insurance Companies say, "We'll only ALLOW a certain (small) per cent" and then only pay a PER CENT OF WHAT THEY ALLOW. I was recently in the ER and the hospital got paid almost nothing. Balance billing not permitted. At my age they just give me the discount--no questions asked! Thank them and pass it on to your grandchildren.
Fabiola Rodriguez says:
Thanks for sharing that information with us, Seniors. We all need it.
Janet says:
To Paula, it's "a lot" (two words) not alot. I am on a fixed income and happy to have an income. Chill.
Audrey says:
Thanks for all ur research, n passing it on to us !
Patricia Fodor says:
WONDERFUL IDEA -TO BE ABLE TO FIND SO MANY OF "OUR" DISCOUNTS IN ONE PLACE. A LONG OVERDUE IDEA
PATRICIA RILEY says:
THANKS....OVER 70, CAN USE A BREAK ON RESTAURANT PRICES..ESPECIALLY OLIVE GARDEN
Joan says:
Perhaps you could list this under Yahoo groups also. I have found many helpful things under the groups site. This is very helpful in a time of need for the Seniors
Edmund Barron says:
#111. Harris-Teeter's 5% senior discount is on Thursday, not Tuesday as shown. (It used to be on Tuesday.)
Marshall W. Harden says:
fantastic , can't wait to pick up some of these favorite coupons..
Diane B. says:
Golden Corral also has an early bird special for seniors. Between 1:30 and 4:00 you get your drink free, a $2.00 savings on top of the senior discount.
SHIRLEY MCGEE says:
GREAT INFO THANKS ALOT
Ol Lil says:
Thanks, Granny, for this great Web site and remembering us 80 year olds. You will definitely be on my "Favorites" list. The list you have compiled is amazing. My nick name was given to me from one of my husband's brother--and I was only 17 years old at the time, but for some reason it has stuck with me. It has been placed in my beautiful memory box. Have a good and happy "Golden Year" day.
camilla_thomas says:
Great information! AARP members do get most of these discounts, but the really good ones are the home and auto insurance deals through The Hartford.
Malcolm Hein says:
I see these discounts for seniors very often as almost all of the places mentioned here Where I've been I mention it and they already have taken off my over 60 discount. I'm very happy with that as not getting any Soc. Sec. raise for two years every little bit helps, and now I do not get out very often as My wife has Alzheimers and is now In a nursing Assisted living Home.
Daniel says:
Thanks. Very useful. Great information. I only knew of a few of these. I will definitely be using them in the future.
Sandra Rising says:
Kroger offers 10% off on Kroger brand products if you have a Kroger card.
Linda Desrosiers says:
This is a great site with wonderful deals for all us Seniors. Thank You.
Connie says:
Thanks for the valuable information. I was not aware of some of these.
Linda says:
Thanks so much for gathering this information. I'm a couponer and try to save no matter what I'm buying. My husband and I eat at Chili's and Applebee's quite often and I didn't know about the discount. Even saving enough to cover the tip is a great help. And I shop at HyVee every week. I'm going to call them right now and see what day they offer the discount. Thanks. Oh, and George, you should have used a semicolon after the word wrong instead of a comma.
Sarah says:
Thank you good info
Jesse says:
Thanks, Granny. I knew there had to be something good about getting older.
Paula says:
Thank you-good to know. By the way, plenty of people are on fixed incomes-not just seniors. Lots of folks don't get raises any more and alot more cannot get jobs. Lets stop referring to ourselves as being on fixed incomes and be happy we have incomes. Another idea, George, did you really have to criticize the spelling? Have you nothing better to do? How about going and and saving some money instead and being happy? It was probably just a typo anyway instead of (gasp) a spelling error.
Nancy VonDeylen says:
WOW! So many places!
Pauline Coderre says:
This is great for seniors on a fixed income. Keep them coming.
Beverly Reid says:
Thanks. Every little bit counts.
George says:
You spelled Busch Gardens wrong, left out the "c".
