U.P. and N.E. Wisconsin senior citizen discounts

We all know that senior citizens have been hit especially hard by the economic turndown of recent years. Pensions have been cut. Medicare and prescription costs have risen. Retirees who previously counted on stocks and retirement savings have had to look elsewhere to pay for their everyday needs.

But for those of you over the age of 60, there is a silver lining- senior discounts!

 Before diving into the following list of senior discounts in the U.P. and Northeastern Wisconsin, please remember to check with your local restaurant or store and find out what age constitutes “senior”. Also, don’t forget to take your driver’s license or ID card. Some locations ask for proof of age.
