Getting older comes with its perks, especially in Singapore where seniors enjoy plenty of exclusive discounts. From cheaper groceries and movie tickets, to special rates at family attractions and free recreational activities, there’s so much to look forward to.
This guide rounds up the best senior discounts and perks you can tap on in your golden years. Get ready to shop, eat, stay active and explore for much less!
In Singapore, you’ll typically enjoy senior citizen discounts once you turn 60 years old. Some businesses may offer special senior rates to those as young as 50, so it often pays to check with the staff when you’re out and about.
These discounts are Singapore’s way of honouring the contributions our elders have made, and a small gesture of appreciation for the years they’ve spent working hard to make Singapore the wonderful home we treasure today.
So go on, treat yourself. You deserve it!
Love a good bargain on your weekly groceries? Many supermarkets in Singapore give seniors special discounts on selected days, so plan your shopping wisely to maximise your savings.
To sweeten the deal, redeem your CDC and SG60 vouchers here and use them to lower your out-of-pocket spending. Don’t forget to bring along your trusty reusable bag to save even more and do your bit for the planet.
Here’s a quick look at which supermarkets roll out the best deals for seniors.
