Oh my, eaten too much lately. No search for lunch with discount for seniors today. I'll be fasting with fruit only today.
Since I'm on the food subject, and always like to help keep other safe, here's a couple of websites for the mature individual.

Be safe today and forever.

Another day in search of discounted lunch
Today was Qdoba Mexican food. I didn't think they gave senior discounts, and they don't, because they use the Qdoba card. Everytime you purchase a meal from them, you accumulate points and with a certain number of points, the meal is free.
Googling Tallahassee Senior Discounts gets loads of information mostly about Tallahassee. Googling senior discounts brings up a website that will provide information nationwide on businesses that give discounts. You have to pay to be a member.
The benefit to you, blogger, is that I will publish what I learn from businesses and provide the list free to you. So keep watching my blogsite.

No senior discount here
Lunch at Food Glorious Food today and when I inquired about senior discounts, I'm told they don't give them. So far, that's 1 out of 4 restaurants that provide a discount. Now I know Sonny's does too. In fact, they give you a card and a 25% savings. Go Sonny's!

Countdown to 55
Day 2 out in the community, doing business, asking about senior discounts and I learn that Red Elephant (at least the midtown one on Thomasville at Betton) does NOT, that's correct does NOT offer senior discounts. Tsk, tsk.
I've decided that once I turn 55, next month, that I will keep a tab to determine how much money I save during the year using senior discounts. While we all want to save a dollar, I don't recommend doing so and receiving discounted services, quality or value so sometimes as they say "you get what you pay for".
Write in if you are aware of any businesses in town that give these discounts and maintains quality and service. Until my next visit to a business...

Turning 55
Having lunch with a friend yesterday at Atlanta Bread Company (the good one on Market Street) I inquired if they had senior discounts. I'm not 55 yet, but I turn it next month and I'm looking forward to finding out who gives discounts and who doesn't.
My lunch friend is older than me, but never asks. She doesn't want people to know she's that old. Well I've been gray headed so long now, people have given me senior discounts without my asking. I imagine to most of the high school and some college kids working at restaurants, we all look ancient.
I'd had lunch Friday at Moe's and inquired if they had discounts, to which I was told they did, 10% to seniors.
So my assignment that I choose to take this month prior to turning 55 will be to ask every business I visit if they give senior discounts, whether they are roofers, house cleaners, or restaurants. I'll report and provide a list, once compiled for interested parties. Perhaps it will encourage others who do not provide them to start.
By the way the ABC (Atlanta Bread Co.) on Market Street doesn't give discounts, but says they are going to start. I'll let you know! They did say the one at Governors Sq. Blvd. does, but they don't get my business anyway. If you go, ask for it.
In fact, if you'd like to help me out, and I would appreciate it, let me know who you know that gives discounts and the amounts if you know.
Thanks and have a great day and remember, ask for those discounts!
