I just bought my annual fishing license and for the first time it cost $11 instead of $36. My husband's has been only $1 for the past two years (65 & over). When was the last time you got a senior discount? Did you have to ask for it, or did they give it automatically? Since I had to show my drivers license for my fishing lic., they gave it without my asking. :eek:k:
 

We just renewed our dog license for Sparky and found out there was a senior discount. I had to send a copy of my birth certificate with the renewal form. We eat at Sizzler a couple times a month and they always automatically give us the discount.

Went to hardware store today for new hoses and Miracle Grow. Had forgotten that the fist Wednesday of every month is senior's discount day. Woman at register asked if I was 60 or over..
"Yep, wa-a-a-ay over 60"
I got $22 off the bill !
 

We have a range of services and goods you get a discount - or even free when you reach 60 here in the UK. I have a free bus pass, which I use regularly. I often walk the mile and a half into our city centre and then catch a bus home. It is a great system. Prescriptions are free too when you are 60. Thankfully (touch wood) I rarely need to use that privilege. And on a lighter note our cinemas give you about a 20% discount, which as a regular cinema goer I take advantage of regularly.

Last Thursday of the month. Shoppers Drug Mart. Seniors Day. 20% discount on most items carried. Sale items and prescriptions are not available.

I got my Acer tablet there.

Thats a big saving as they carry a lot of food items as well.
 
We stop at McDonald's for a cup of "Senior Coffee" when out shopping, etc. If we are at the casino on a Wednesday, they have a Buy One get One Free Buffet for Seniors.
 
A couple of weeks ago when I took some family members out for lunch at my husband's friend's restaurant. Oh and last Friday when I bought a round-trip Greyhound ticket.
 
Last week when I took the missus to the casino for her birthday brunch.

I had a garage door repair service come and work on my garage door some time ago. Has they were working on the door, I jokingly asked if they gave senior discounts. "Yes we do," was the reply. Wow $$$ :)
 
It was quite hot Monday. Instead of turning on the AC, I went to a movie and got a $1.50 discount. I had to ask for it, but didn't have to show ID.
When looking up what movie to see, I found that the 2nd closest theater has $5 Fridays for seniors (before 5:30). If it's raining like they forecast tomm, I'm going to the movies again.
 
Today at the local thrift shop.

I bought a depression glass serving bowl in the cabbage rose or Sharon pattern, similar to this one, for ninety-nine cents and they knocked off 15%.
