Believe me, I am the first to cringe at the phrase "senior discount." I have yet to join AARP though they've been after me since before I turned 50. But, scrolling through my saved Facebook links I noticed, somewhere between "8 essential toning moves for women over 40" and "How to clean out your dryer hose," a post from Mogul titled "This list of senior discounts for people over 50 might be the best thing you learn all day." I decided to revisit it and thought some of my contemporaries might be surprised to know what is ours for the asking. If you're 55+ here is just a sampling of savings as rewards for making it beyond half-century mark. These are available to all of us, every day. But you do have to bite the bullet and ask for them. FOOD Chili's: 10% off ( 55+) Dunkin' Donuts: 10% off or free coffee ( 55+) - Probably the small, boring variety, but certainly a just reward for picking up a dozen for the office crowd. Fuddrucker's: 10% off any senior platter ( 55+) - Hopefully not just soft items we old folk can chew. IHOP: 10% off ( 55+) Jack in the Box: up to 20% off ( 55+) KFC: free small drink with any meal ( 55+) Krispy Kreme: 10% off ( 50+) Long John Silver's: various discounts at locations ( 55+) McDonald's: discounts on coffee everyday ( 55+) Papa John’s: 25% off (55+) for online orders. Enter the code “AARP25″ when placing your order - I assume this works even for non-AARP imposters. TCBY: 10% off ( 55+) - Froyo yo! Wendy’s: 10% off (55+) RETAIL Dress Barn: 20% off ( 55+) - You'll have to buy your clothes in a "barn" but still... TRAVEL : Budget Rental Cars: 10% off; up to 20% off for AARP members ( 50+) Dollar Rent-A-Car: 10% off ( 50+) - Even young whippersnappers can get some of these! Best Western: 10% off (55+) Hampton Inns & Suites: 10% off when booked 72 hours in advance Mainstay Suites: 10% off with Mature Traveler's Discount (50+) Travelodge: 10% off (50+) ENTERTAINMENT AMC Theaters: up to 30% off (55 +) - Likely tickets, not popcorn. That's still expensive (but sooooo worth it). So, if you're itching for adventure, grab a friend, buy a dress, hop in a rental car and take off for the weekend. Catch a movie, eat some road trip food - it's all good (and cheaper than it was when you were younger!).
