There are many discounts available to seniors from organizations and businesses. The eligibility age varies from 50 (AARP members) to over 60. Often just showing a driver's license or other identification will allow you a senior discount.
Ask for a senior discount
Some businesses clearly list senior discounts on their websites or post them in the store.
Many museums, movie theaters, restaurants and retailers also clearly post senior rates.
Many stores provide discounts only to seniors who ask for them.
Wherever you are doing business, ask whether there is a senior discount available. You can search for discounts on-line: search ("Google") on "senior discounts" and you'll find lots of lists.
America the Beautiful pass
Don't overlook the America the Beautiful senior pass. For people age 62 and older, $80 will get you a lifetime pass that provides you and up to three other adults free admission to more than 2,000 national parks and federal recreation sites.
