| It really doesn't amount to much for us. Most of the fast food places give a Senior Citizen discount or a free drink with the order. Some Resturants have a senior discount or menu with smaller portions. AARP kicks in at an earlier age than the SC discount. You can't get both. Both of my favorite supermarkets give a SC discount on Wednesday. I don't get it because I like to either get my groceries on Saturday or Monday. It varies from 2 to 5 % of the total purchase. They don't honor AARP at all. Some department stores have regular SC days, and I would save a bundle if I planned ahead and waited for them. But I don't. All motels that we use give the same amount either for AARP or for SC. We had AARP for years and years but never came across anything that would give AARP a better deal than the regular Senior discount. I guess it would depend on how active the Senior Citizens group was in that area. For the first few years, if we wanted the SC discount, we had to ask for it. Now the wrinkles and gray make the age statement for us. We get extra homestead exemption on property taxes. It's a good one too!! That, and the extra exemption on both Federal and STate income tax, is the biggest goodie of them all. I don't think we would ever eat out enough for the resturant discounts to amount to much. The savings at the supermarket would add up to about 200 a year, IF I could wait and buy everything at once on Wednesday. Never gonna happen, not in this life!! LOL |
