Senior discounts – who would not want to avail of one once they have reached the age when they have the opportunity to enjoy such perks? The good news is, anywhere you are in the US, you get to have a taste of these wonderful savings. When living in Florida, discounts range from booking a hotel room and entering a state park to grocery shopping and even restaurant dining. Here is a list of the greatest deals for the elderly in this state.
Car Rentals
There are those of you who may not be aware of this perk. Now, you can grab the chance to enjoy 25% off your Avis car rental, which is exclusive for AARP members in Florida. This is not all though. You can also upgrade your car, free of charge, with other perks due to your AARP membership.
Prescription Medicines & Other Items
Those who have reached the age of 55 gets the chance to enjoy discounts on prescriptions and other items. At Walgreen’s, for instance, there are special Senior Days where you can grab that chance. You can always check with your local store when this event is happening. You can also make purchases online and get the same savings as when you buy through local stores.
Hotel Bookings
For those aged 60 and above, this is a great way to save 10% on advanced reservations for top lodging names in Florida like Mainstay Suites, Clarion, Comfort Inn, Quality Inn, and Sleep Inn. Find any Choice Hotel to get the value for your money during your hotel stay.
Camping
Camping can be costly anywhere in the country. If you have chosen Florida state parks, you can enjoy camping fee discounts, that is, if you are aged 65 and up. You actually save 50% on campsite base fee, and that huge savings can then be used for your other needs. You can take advantage of this discount anytime you feel like visiting state parks in Florida.
Grocery Shopping
There are plenty of grocery stores to visit when in Florida but one of the best ones to go to if you are 60 or older is Publix.

Imagine how much you can accumulate during your frequent visits to this grocery, then do the math after, and appreciate what you saved in total.
