9 TIPS TO BENEFIT FROM DISCOUNTS
There are so many discounts you can get on a daily basis if you are paying attention. You may not be able to qualify for every single idea on every single day, but it may generate opportunities for other potential discount opportunities for the things that you need and want.
1. Student Discounts – Students can get discounts on all kinds of things if they have a student ID. From bookstores to life insurance, nothing is off-limits when it comes to asking or a discount for your student or for you if you're a student.
2. Elderly Discounts – What constitutes "elderly" is different for each business, but start looking for discounts once you reach about 55. And once you're 65, you can get tons of discounts off food, gym membership, and even tuition.
3. The Day Discounts – Just like some restaurants make it a tradition to offer inexpensive tacos on Tuesday night, some offer "buy one get one" offers, "children eat free" offers and other offers on different days. Learn the days for your favorite places.
4. Your Job Title Discounts – The military, nurses, teachers, fire rescue, and more often get discounts in the local area if you just ask.
Don't be shy. If you fit into a job classification that might deserve discounts, the local business owners may agree too.
5. Membership Discounts – If you are a member of something such as AARP, Costco, or even your book club, many memberships offer benefits like discounts on regular shopping that members tend to do.
If you have joined anything as a member, look to your members' benefits statements to find out what more you can do with it.
6. Frequent Shopper Discounts – Some business owners offer regular and frequent shoppers discounts the more you shop.
For example, Kohl's offers "Kohl's Cash" each time you shop, which is a coupon that you can use during specific dates to get a deeper discount on your next trip.
7. Gender Discount Nights / Days – Like to party? Bars still have "ladies' night" and "gents' night" as well as other nights that offer the person of the night a significant discount and even freebies.
