Retail Discounts Part 2

In out last newsletter we discussed how to locate senior discounts at regional and national retail chains. We analyzed the amount of the discount one can expect to receive, the most common age requirements as well as the typical times and days most retailers offer their senior discount. We also listed some specific senior discounts that can be found at various national and retail chains. Due to the number of retail chains that offer senior discounts, we were only able to highlight a few of those retail chains. To see last week's newsletter, click here.
