Senior Discounts

 I want my blog to be about positive things.  Things I want to remember, or things I feel might be of benefit to others. In the long run I do not want to remember or look back on these stressful days of fixing up the house and saying goodbye to treasured possessions  Posts about Craig fixing this or my painting that are of no real value or interest, so I have decided to not write them any more.

So, until we are actually traveling  or if I think I have a good food or craft idea to share, my entries may be more limited.

With that in mind, I thought I'd pass on this list of senior discounts I found on the Escapee's Forum. 

We don't eat out very often, and when we do it is rarely at fast food places, but when in a rush or on the road we have.  I'm going to make it a habit to ASK if there is a senior discount.

 

Seems like we have been to many of these places and have not seen any sign of them.

 One thing I have noticed is that many of the discounts listed below are for certain times of the day or certain days of the week or month.  But time is what we have the most of.

I'd be interested in learning about any other discounts you may know about.  They may be anywhere in the country, because who knows where we will travel once the house is sold!
