With age comes wisdom and also savings! The holidays are around the corner and that means we are all looking for any way we can save on all of those purchases we will inevitably be making. The older set has a leg up over the twenty-, thirty- and forty-somethings because they can take advantage of senior discounts. Some "senior" discounts kick in as early as 50, so even if you don't feel all that senior, you can still benefit from these special offers.
Just show your AARP card at Toys"R"Us or Babies"R"Us and you'll save $5 on your purchase of $25 or more. It's the perfect way to save on all of those gifts for the grandkids.
It's possible to get an item for everyone (and yourself) on your list at Kohl's. Plus, this department store frequently offers coupons, sales, and Kohl's Cash promotions, so you'll find multiple ways to save.
Sign up in store for Ross' Every Tuesday Club and you will be issued a Tuesday Club Discount card for 10% off. It's free to join and all you need is an ID verifying your age.
Ladies can get 10% off their holiday outfit at Dress Barn. The details of the senior discount vary by location, so check it out before shopping.
You can save at Bealls even if it's not a Tuesday. Download the Coupons.com mobile app and click on "In-Store Offers" for coupons you can use at Bealls right from your smart phone. Inventory is always changing, but I recently found $10 off $25.
Feeling crafty this holiday season? AARP members get 10% off their entire purchase (regular and sale-priced merchandise) every day of the week. Not an AARP member? You can almost always find savings at Michaels. Check their ad for 20% off your entire purchase or 40% off a single purchase.
Use your senior discount to stock up on stocking stuffers at Walgreens. You must have a Balance Rewards card (it's free) in addition to meeting the age requirement. If you have an iPhone, you can load your Balance Rewards card to your Passbook app so it's always there when you need it. The next Seniors Day is Tuesday!
The Salvation Army loves offering discount days. Promotions vary by location, but they often have Ladies' Night, Men's Night, student discounts, military discounts, and even a Super Senior Day where they increase the percentage off.
