yes, youre right about the bank account margaretclare, didint realise you had to deposit amounts of that size!!!
must admit i just glanced at the interest rates and thought they were good (they would have to be with that amount of money going in!!!!):eek:

Coventry BS over-60s saver account - deposit is 'up to' £2000 per month, ie not more than £2000 is allowed in, so it can still be quite good for saving whatever you can afford. We opened accounts when this one first started with a bonus rate on top of whatever it is now.)

I think that the Focus day is Tuesdays only...well it is in Rochdale.
Good thing is that it's easy to join at the checkout and get instant
discount.

We were in Focus at Rochdale last Sunday and my husband got his 10% discount off the wood he bought. In fact it was on the loud speaker system advertising that Pensioners discount was every day.

Good thing if you need something DIYand it isn't Wednesday. It would be terrible to have to pay full price at B & Q!.

I thought Focus DIY was Tuesdays. Glad if it is everyday. Most DIY will give pensioner discount cards. Cinemas have Senior Citizens rates. We take advantage of Orange Wednesdays - BOGOF if you have an Orange mobile phone (send FILM to 124), and we can get two premier seats for the price of one on Wednesdays too. Get your paracetamol FREE on prescription if you are a Senior Citizen, but only 16p at Aldi's if you must buy.

Ponden Mill 10% on Wednesdays.

Poundstretcher used to have 10% off on Mondays, but not sure if this is still on.

Remember hairdressers/barbers often have reduced rates for elderly on Mondays/Tuesdays

Not really shopping - but if you are a 'concession' and have been a member of National Trust for 5 years, you then actually get concessionary rates on the annual sub. Not sure how long this will go on, as last time I looked (quite a while ago, so could be back now) there was no mention of this on their website. However, having remembered it and about to pay for our 5th year, I asked, and behold I was told I we were eligible. Yippee, we are members again! (If you go to NT places a lot, it is worth getting an annual pass).

Hi, I'm not an over 60er, but I wondered if there was a list of discount days for the over 60's at shops across the country?

For instance, my mum went to her local Adams children shop recently, thought she had picked up a bargain already with a sale item, and then was asked - rather politely - if she was over 60. She then got a further 10% off because it:j was discount day on a Tuesday. I am not sure if this is at every single Adams shops, or just her local one.

Can anybody help, it would be nice to take advantage of this.

Thanks in advance.
