What has been your newest senior discount discovery?

[MarkD]

I just bought a Senior + membership I would never have dreamed of joining before. We had had decided to buy two tickets to Filoli historic house and garden in spite of the expense. Adult tickets are $38 per but seniors pay $33, so we save $10. But wait, a membership for a year costs only $85 for a senior - and the named member can bring a guest each visit. Terrific so for $9 more than the price of two senior tickets we can return free as much as we like through the year. But it got better: the first time you buy a membership they give you a $25 discount so $85 - $25 = $60, a six dollar discount over two one time senior tickets.

For me the draw is the huge immaculately maintained estate garden. Here are some snaps I took this morning:

We get similar here for every historic house and gardens in the country...

Very pretty. Reminds me a little of the grounds at Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC

My AARP supplemental insurance will pay for my gym membership. Not really too new, started it last summer.

Probably the best one I know is the senior park pass. Mine was about 80.00….and good for admission to national parks for the rest of my life.

i have never taken advantage of a senior discount. I was stung that a small market assumed i was a senior and gave me a 10 percent discount. I walked out of there thinking, do i look old? I mean I am retirement age but i am totally in denial.
