"Taking Advantage of Senior Discounts..!" 'Judith Whitehead' (Inspiration Monday)

"Guest-blogger Judith Whitehead lives in Amherst N.Y. and has worked in the ophthalmology field of medicine for over 30 years..." Judith speaks of the perks of growing old. Bus rides and coffee at fast food restaurants can be added to her list...  ;D) Enjoy...
Recently I have begun to really dive into the senior discount; now that I am in my later 50’s, I feel I deserve a little break since I am an AARP card carrying member. There is no end to the discounts you can gently ask for at places.

I start the morning with my senior coffee at Tim Hortons…yes they give a discount if you ask for it. I stop at kohls for their discount days and to my surprise they also have senior discount days on top of that.

I am doing a bit of travel during the month and am getting my AARP discount at the hotel and also that applies to rental cars.

A snack at Dennys’ will give a senior coffee price along with the meal discount for showing your AARP card. Unfortunately my weekday dinner hang out for a cheap meal, Perkins, closed up in Buffalo so there went my senior discount and bargain for my mid week reward.

Once you hit the 50’s…start asking wherever you go; you may be delightfully surprised. Can’t wait until I turn 65 and fly cheaper on Southwest airlines.

All those aches and pains that creep up in the morning don’t seem so bad with these little treasures offered.
