Discount Shopping

Mary Morley passed on a great list of senior discounts that some (but not all of you spring chickens) of us can use when shopping for TWC.  After meeting with the Perishable and Non-Perishable Committees last week, here are ways to get even more for your money...remember, we try to get the biggest bang for our buck. This list has been abbreviated for TWC shopping purposes.  If you would like the complete list (which includes shops like Banana Republic, etc., let me know and I will forward it on to you).

Albertson's:  10% off first Wednesday of each month (55+)
We need to check with the other grocery stores to see if they offer senior discounts.
