Penny’s Tips Volume 168

 

Hi everyone!

My money saving tip for you this month is to be sure to ask for a senior discount if you are 55 or over. Most don’t start until age 60, but some do. The vet we go to has a senior discount for those over age 65 so mom made sure to have Dad’s name on the records. This saved a lot of money when Friday got her dental yesterday.

Friday only needed one tooth extraction and a lot of tartar removed. The bill was less than the low end of the estimate. Friday wanted to show you all her bandaged leg. They ended up shaving both front legs so it looks like she has on a short-sleeved sweater.

Michael’s craft stores have a 10% discount for those over 55 so even Mom qualifies. And Walgreens also has 10 % off on the first Tuesday of the month ( today) for those over 55.

Well, that is all I have for this month. Happy Canada Day! And I hope you all have a nice 4th in the US.

  1. Cute picture of you, Penny! Good to know Friday’s dental was less than expected. We’ll have to look into that Walgreens senior discount. XO

  2. Wonderful tips, you cutie-pie. And we love the sweater effect….poor little kitty but probably cooler in this weather, no? Mama loves it when she is somewhere that gives a discount and they don’t want to give it, haha. Rarely happens.

  3. Friday looks cute with her sweater effect. I am glad the dental wasn’t as much as expected. That is a good tip, Penny. We get discounts on a lot of things, and when we reach government retirement age which is now 66, but was 61 for women and 66 for men when I reached the pension age. That meant I had to wait until I was 61 1/2, and Ivor had to wait until he was 66. We get free bus travel after 9am, and free prescriptions from age 60. Those are the two biggest benefits.

  4. We hope Friday recovers quickly. It’s always a nice surprise when something costs less than you expected. This is a great tip, Penny. I’ll have to make sure dad takes advantage of these discounts wherever they’re available since he’s more than halfway to 64 now.

  5. We get discounts on several things here too. Some at 55 and some at 65…I should ask oiur vet fo =r senior discounts too, teehee!
    Friday has a new fashion for kitties!! GLad her dental went well, and that is even was less $$ than you had expected. Bonus! That means more funds for treats, MOL!

  6. Thank you for tips, Penny, and we receive senior discounts on insurance and other goodies. Friday, looks cute in her sweater effect, and I’m glad her dental went well.

  7. Penny, that’s a lot! Thanks fur the tips and showing us Friday. We are sorry to hear about
    the tooth. Good thing the Tooth Fairy lives at you house! We know she got a reward.
    Our tip is stay cool.

    1. Thank you. 🙂 Yes, Mom, I mean the Tooth Fairy left her a silvervine toy. XO

  8. Another discount is the military one. My husband was in the National Guard but did not see active duty so he didn’t think he was eligible. We get 10% at some places (like Home Depot and Lowe’s). We just found this benefit a few years back. It adds up.

  9. Discounts are nice. We try to remember to asking for those when we can. I’m not sure how we reached the “Senior” status so fast but here we are and it’s really a hard thing to remember especially when your mind is saying “Hey, you’re still a kid!” 😀 It looks like Friday is wearing short pants with furry boots.

  10. Glad Friday’s dental went well. The Lady doesn’t like to ask for senior discounts because it makes her feel old. Some stores give them to her without even asking!

  11. You can save a lot of money with senior discounts. We love senior discounts. We don’t have to ask for them anymore because we look like we qualify for the senior discounts. Just saying.

    Glad Friday had successful dental work.

    Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.

    Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Scritches to all the kitties and a big hug to mom. ♥

    1. Mom gets offended if anyone thinks she qualifies. 🙂 Friday thanks you. XO

  14. Thank you, Penny! I never think about the senior discount. I will be asking now.
    Good news about Friday’s dental and the bill. Discounts count! She looks adorable always 🙂

  15. Great tips for seniors, Penny. Mom qualifies but never remembers to shop on the right day:(. Glad Friday’s dental went so well.

  17. Wow, I would have not thought about asking at the veterinarian’s office for a senior discount; when I’m there tomorrow, I’ll do it!
    Good advice, Penny.

  18. Thank you for the money saving senior discount tip! Appreciate it.

  19. Wowzers! You guys get some great senior discounts! Mom had to get a tooth pulled a month ago and the Canadian Government has implemented a dental plan for seniors. But your dentist has to rake part in the program. When Mom went she asked and her dentist has just started the plan the day before her visit! She was ever so happy at the $500 discount!
    Keep being awesome guys!
    Marvelous and Mom

  20. There’s certainly nothing wrong with asking for the discount. Friday, I’m glad the visit wasn’t worse.

  22. Charlee: “Hmm, maybe Dada should see if the garage offers a discount for over 55, since they have his car and they keep finding new things wrong with it …”
    Chaplin: “Happy Canada Day! Our brother Tucker who we never met was Canadian, you know!”

  23. Glad Friday’s trip to the vet was less severe than anticipated.
    And I will need to start taking advantage of those senior discounts soon!

  24. That’s nice getting a senior discount. I’ll be 60 next year and I saw that I can get a discount at my favorite thrift store. Glad Friday’s dental wasn’t too bad.
