Two discounts for seniors
Senior citizens are eligible for a lot of discounts that the rest of us can only look forward to. Here are two good ones.
Folks 55 and older can get 10 to 20% off at Goodwill locations across the country. Check ahead of time at your local store because the discount may only be valid certain days of the week. You can also call (800) 741-0186 for store information.
Greyhound bus lines give 5% off unrestricted fares to folks 62 and older. Some destinations offer 10% if you purchase your ticket online. Their toll free number is 800-229-9424.
For more age-based discounts visit Senior Discounts. The site has three levels of membership, free and two paid memberships that offer greater access to deals. I'm counting the days!

The best senior discount I take advantage of is the senior coffee and senior cola at McDonalds. Prices vary according to franchises, but usually they are 50% off. Also on Tuesdays Ross gives seniors 10% of everything. Both of these are for 50 and older. Finally, it pays to be older!
One great bargain is on Mondays at the Century 8 theaters in North Hollywood. Seniors can see any and all movies for only $5! Another is on Wednesdays at the Laemmele in the Encino Town Center, where the early shows are only $4! A friend thinks the popcorn there is the best anywhere, and they give generous portions!
The newspapers, especially on Sundays, give lots of info about discounts, and include coupon inserts worth a ton of money to those who shop carefully.
Senior.com is a good idea, but you have to pay to get the information.
Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out! ~Julia
