You don't have to look far to find the best deals for seniors - but you'll need to reach that age first. Not all companies define “mature” or “senior” the same way.

Members of the AARP or Association of Mature American Citizens know that these legendary benefits take effect at the age of 50. If you prefer not to pay annual membership fees for the opportunity to receive discounts, just wait another 5 years and enjoy the offers in stores, restaurants, hotels and companies.

Here are the discounts that become available as soon as you turn 55 years old.

Retailers

A variety of retailers, from grocery stores to auto repair shops, begin their "mature" discounts at age 55. They include:

Hy-Vee: a chain of stores offers 5% savings on purchases on Wednesdays. You may need to register and present a Hy-Vee Club Membership Card, which is provided free of charge at the store. Contact your store for details.

Fred Meyer: many people living in the western United States know these supermarkets. If you are at least 55 years old, you will receive a 10% discount on brands of their private brands. Buy Fred Meyer, Kroger, Simple Truth and other private labels to save money.
