While we may not apppreciate being identified as senior citizens, we seniors do appreciate a deal.  We love discounts and loyalty points.  More on loyalty programs another day.  Shoppers Drug Mart for example, gives us (early seniors – over 55), a 20% discount on one Thursday per month, with an Optimum loyalty card.  I used this discount to buy a pregnancy test, causing confusion at the cash desk.

After that I headed to McDonalds, where I received a discounted “Senior’s Coffee”.  Not all restaurants offer this benefit, but just ask!
