A great thing about retirement is that all of t he discounts you are eligible for make frugal living easier for seniors. From restaurants to travel groups and amusement parks, perks for retirees abound. However, the economic downturn has affected some of these discounts, and some companies have had to do away with them entirely because they simply can't afford to have them anymore.
Many fast-food restaurants have been cutting back on senior discounts, for example, but some other companies have been adding them in an attempt to bring in new business. Many discounts are offered during off-peak hours, so no matter what you're looking to buy it's a good idea to go during these times and always ask if you can get a discount based on your age. A lot of these businesses don't advertise their discounts, so it never hurts to ask.
