Senior discounts are mostly small - a few dollars here, ten percent there - but they add up over a year. More substantial savings come from public benefits programs that adults over 65 often don't know they qualify for: SNAP for low-income seniors, LIHEAP for energy assistance, Medicare Savings Programs that cover Medicare premiums for households below specific income thresholds.
