My regular grocery store, "Farm Fresh" offers a 5% discount for people over
55 every Tuesday and Thursday. Whenever I'm there on those days I usually
have to remind them to give me the discount. Sadly though, I rarely shop on
those days. Most weeks for me it's a Saturday morning thing. I've got a
nice list for tomorrow morning already, btw.
