Mcdonald’s senior discount and other senior discounts today. If you use any type of transportation, ask for a senior discount. This is especially true for those who use public transportation. You could save a significant amount of money on these discounts.

Golden Corral: Ask for a discount here. They vary from one location to the next, but are often discounted meal prices. Denny’s: For a deep savings on meals, visit this location. Many offer up to 15 percent off. AARP members could get a lower price significantly. Outback: Outback’s senior discount is for AARP members. They can save up to 10 percent on their purchase here. Taco Bell: Most Taco Bell locations provide individuals with a discount of five percent off their meal. Most also provide free beverages to seniors when requested. Burger King: Seniors may be able to get a 10 percent discount plus additional discounts on drinks at Burger King.

Best Western offers 10% (“or more”) off room rates at many (but not all) of its hotels and resorts. That can be a big deal, because its network features more than 4,000 establishments in more than 100 countries. Its hotel brands include Best Western, Best Western Plus, Best Western Premier, Vib, GLo, Executive Residency by Best Western, BW Premier Collection, and BW Signature CollectionSM by Best Western — along with its newer franchise offerings: SureStay Hotel by Best Western, SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western and SureStay Collection by Best Western. If you spend six nights a year at Best Westerns and the room rates average $120, you can save $72 or more annually. See extra info on Ymca senior discount.

The first Taco Bell restaurant opened in California in 1962, offering a product that customers pronounced “Tay-Kohs.” Today, there are close to 7,000 Taco Bell eateries all over the world (but mostly in the U.S.). The company reportedly offers a 5% or 10% discount, often with a free drink, to those 65 or older. It’s not necessarily available at every location, though, so ask first. Some locations may just offer seniors a free drink. Even that has value, though. If you save $1.49 with a free drink once a week at a Taco Bell, that’s $77 per year.

Dress Barn started in 1962 in Connecticut and now, with some 800 store locations around the country, is part of the Ascena Retail Group. It reportedly offers 10% off on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to customers who are 55 or older, though not necessarily at every location — so you might want to ask about available discounts before completing your shopping. If you buy $100 worth of clothing there every few months, you might save $40 or more per year.
