How to save money when you’re 60-plus

theguardian.com:

The soaring cost of living makes it more important than ever to ensure your money stretches as far as possible.

Fortunately, if you are 60-plus, you can benefit from a wide range of deals and discounts and save plenty of cash.

Some pubs, restaurants, cinemas and theatres offer discounts to people over 60, particularly during weekdays when people are at work.

Check with your local pub, as they often offer discounted lunches on certain days of the week. Some Greene King pubs offer seniors loyalty schemes, providing a 50% discount off every fourth meal, and seniors menus every day, with one or perhaps two courses for £4.49.

The Odeon cinema chain offers reduced tickets for over-60s through its Silver Cinema initiative, with tickets from £3.50, and tea, coffee and biscuits served before the film.

Similarly, Empire’s Seniors scheme for over-60s offers tickets for £3.75 every Wednesday, with tea or coffee again included.

Turning to theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company offers discounted tickets to the over-65s on selected performances, with a 20% discount available on all seats for Monday and Tuesday evening performances and all midweek matinees.

The over-60s can save on midweek matinees at London’s National Theatre, with £66 seats reduced to £46 and £56 seats reduced to £36 in its two biggest venues.

The National Trust’s senior membership offers over-60s who have been a member of the organisation for at least five out of the last 10 years a 25% discount off adult rates. It is £57.60 for individual senior membership, or £95.40 for joint senior membership.

English Heritage offers reduced-price senior membership for people over 65, at £59 a year compared with £66 (or £92 a year for joint membership if you are both over 65). This gives
