Depending on where you shop you may or may not be eligible for a discount or other freebies as you enter your “golden years.” I have found some establishments start their senior discounts at age 55, some at 60, others at 65.

The main tip for benefiting from a senior discount is…YOU MUST ASK FOR IT!

Here are the Winnipeg senior discounts that I know of (in alphabetical order). Let me know if you have any to add!

Bulk Barn, 65+, 15% every Wednesday

Canadian Goodwill, “Seniors”, 20% every Tuesday

Giant Tiger, 60+, 10% on the first Monday of every month

M & M Food Market, 60+, 10% off all regular priced items in-store or online (code SENIORSDAY)

Michael’s, 55+, 10% every day

Rexall, 55+, 20% every Tuesday with a Be Well Rewards Card

Shopper’s Drug Mart, 65+, 20% every Thursday with a PC Optimum card

Subway, 60+, 10% every day

Thrift Store Salvation Army, 60+, 10% every day

Value Village, 60+, 30% every Tuesday

Winnipeg Transit, 65+, “discounted” fare rates

It pays to get old!

Have a great day.
