I love the Kroger senior discount. I live alone on approximately $18K a year and have calculated that I save at least $5-7 a month with the Kroger discount. Plus I have found that most of the Kroger brand products are every bit as good as the major name brands. I don’t go to movies or eat out much so this is the main venue where I can save some money. I can get my gas cheaper too at Kroger.
Maybe one of these days interest rates will go above zero and I can be a little freer with my money. But I’m not holding my breath!
Yes, if you buy Kroger brands, you get another discount. My Kroger is a Signature one so it is really big. It's almost a pure senior store. There are no kids running in the aisles, seldom see a kid, and customers, being older, help each other. And, it's not jammed with people with food stamp cards with the kids trailing behind them or running into you. Also, they don't allow more than two people standing in line to check out. They immediately open another check out. Usually, a Kroger employee stands where he/she can see all the lines and if one gets three people waiting, she orders another check out opened.
You can get what you want/need and check out quickly. I love that store.
Those people with those food stamp cards go a couple of blocks west where there is a Walmart. You can get knocked down in that store by running kids who are not controlled by the parent(s). Plus, in that Walmart, you have to stand in line like 30 min. or more to check out. I quit going there.
