    Additional Discounts and Tips

    Ask at every restaurant you visit. Even those not on this and restaurants local to you may offer discounts. Also, if you happen to be an AARP member, you can save even more by showing your membership card. They also offer discounts for buying gift cards to restaurants through a partnership with Restaurant.com. If you are a member of AARP, it might be worth checking out those deals before dining out.

    Many of these discounts could vary by location, it is best to give them a call before heading out and expecting a discount. Be sure to bring your identification to show your age, in case the restaurant requests to see proof before offering a discount.
  • Lowes offers a generous discount to veterans and their spouses.

    Lowe's congratulates you! All active military and veterans (together with their spouses) receive an instant 10% discount at Lowe's on all in-store purchases.

    If you're looking for tools, appliances, or anything else that Lowes provides, this should make your decision easier.
