Apologies if this has been asked before. I'm  searching the forum for any Over 60's offers, discounts etc on anything really. 

Does anyone know if there is a specific board for this ? or if anyone can pass on any money saving tips that would be great. 

Greatly received

    some cinema change due over 60s discounts as well for some showings.

    B&Q used to, but they’re not allowing new applicants now for the discount card, but people who  already have. It can still use it.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

  • Blue Light is good for some things, lots of discounts, but sadly TUI require you to have your NHS Email, so no holiday discounts for us retired folk who were frontline for Covid and a lot of other disasters, that sadly, had a devastating effect on some of us. Im guessing our Pensions are too good for the discounts..
    Otherwise, lots of other good discounts from Blue Light
  • Those of you Retired NHS personnel that can't get the Blue Light Tui £100 discount can go to hypermarket (via Blue Light) and get a £30 Tui discount

    I found most cinemas and theatres offered a discount from 60.
    Signature removed for peace of mind
  • My barber has a "Seniors" rate of £4 for a cut. He defines "Senior" as anyone over 60. Youngsters (<60) pay £6.
