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 (Because Subway restaurants are independently owned franchises, this discount is ultimately applied at the manager’s discretion. It is always best to double-check with the staff at your specific Winnipeg location before placing your order.)
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.

That’s unfortunate about the Subway you visited. Because Subway restaurants are independently owned franchises, this discount is ultimately applied at the manager’s discretion. It is always best to double-check with the staff at your specific Winnipeg location before placing your order.
