I tossed the AARP in the trash and never thought much about what I was missing out on until I saw something my daughter brought home from work and left on the table. I'm sure she didn't know what can of worms she was opening up for her dear Mother.
It actually has changed my thinking about being called a senior citizen, but in a good way! I did a little research based on the paper my daughter brought home that contained a list of nationwide businesses that offer a senior discount, if you ask that is.
So, I googled by my state of Florida and came up with this list. Do the same for your state and you'll be amazed to find out how many businesses you frequent offer a discount starting at the young age of 50.
I am going to cash in and get my fair share, honey! Not only can you get a discount for a cup of coffee, but even your local grocery store gives a discount! Now that is when I sat up and took notice, since that is one of our largest monthly costs, food!
If you live in the Sunshine State of Florida here is what I found and wanted to share with you today.

Call you local businesses and speak to the manager and ask for a senior discount. If they don't offer one, give them reasons why they should, like taking your business to their competitor. And, remember to use any coupons on the day you get your senior discount to really cash in on savings!
Enjoy!
