What grocery stores give AARP discounts for seniors?

Most major national grocery store chains do not offer a corporate-wide discount exclusively for AARP members, but several regional supermarkets and local stores provide senior citizen discounts based on age rather than an AARP card.

Grocery Stores with Senior Discounts (Age-Based)

While you typically do not need an AARP membership for these deals (just proof of age and sometimes a free store loyalty card), these supermarkets offer regular senior savings days:

  • Harris TeeterBusiness chain
    5% off every Thursday for shoppers aged 60 and older using their VIC loyalty card.
  • Hy-VeeBusiness chain
    5% off on select days (such as Wednesdays or Thursdays depending on the location) for customers 55 and older who join their senior club.
  • Gristedes Supermarket
    10% off every Tuesday for customers aged 65 and older.
  • New Seasons Market
    10% off most items every Wednesday ("Wisdom Wednesday") for shoppers 65 and older.
  • Bashas'Business chain
    10% off on the first Wednesday of every month for customers 55 and older (primarily in Arizona).
  • AlbertsonsBusiness chain
    Select regional stores offer localized senior discount days, varying by location.

AARP Grocery and Delivery Perks

Instead of in-store checkout discounts at traditional supermarkets, AARP partners with delivery services and specialty food providers through the AARP Grocery Discounts portal:

  • Walmart+: AARP members can get an annual discount on a Walmart+ Membership Savings plan, saving $40 off the yearly cost for grocery delivery and perks.
  • Silver Cuisine by bistroMD: Offers special member pricing on prepared meal delivery.
  • Laithwaites Wine: Offers bottle discounts and reduced delivery for members.

Can I get a discount on an Amazon Prime membership with AARP?

No, you cannot get an exclusive discount on an Amazon Prime membership through AARP.

Amazon does not offer an official senior discount or a dedicated partnership discount for AARP members. However, you can still get a reduced rate if you qualify for Prime Access, which provides a 50% discount.

Alternative Discount Options

  • Prime Access: If you participate in qualifying government assistance programs (such as SNAP, Medicaid, or SSI), you can get Prime for $6.99 per month instead of the standard rate.
  • Annual Billing: If you do not qualify for assistance, paying the annual rate of $139 saves money compared to paying the $14.99 monthly fee.

How much is the AARP discount at Walmart?

AARP members receive a $40 discount on the standard annual plan for Walmart+. This lowers the yearly price from the regular $98 to $58 plus applicable taxes.

Walmart does not offer an age-based senior discount on daily groceries, merchandise, or in-store purchases. The AARP benefit is strictly tied to the annual delivery and savings membership.

🔑 Key Details & Requirements

  • Where to Activate: You must start the signup process directly through the AARP Member Benefits Page to claim the deal. The $40 discount will not show up if you try to sign up through Walmart's standard website.
  • Re-verification: Your eligibility is subject to annual confirmation of your active AARP membership status. If your AARP account cannot be verified upon renewal, Walmart+ will automatically auto-renew at the full $98 rate.
  • Exclusions: The discount is only applicable to the Annual Plan. It cannot be applied to monthly subscriptions, paused accounts, student plans, or combined with Walmart+ Assist (the program for government assistance recipients).

📦 Included Walmart+ Benefits

An AARP-discounted Walmart+ membership still includes all standard perks:

  • Free Delivery: Free same-day delivery from your local store on grocery or prescription orders of $35 or more.
  • Free Shipping: Free 1-to-2 day shipping with no minimum order requirements on items shipped by Walmart.
  • Fuel Savings: A savings of 10¢ per gallon at over 13,000 participating Exxon, Mobil, Conoco, and Walmart stations.
  • Video Streaming: A complimentary ad-supported streaming subscription to either Paramount+ Essential or Peacock Premium.

How much is Amazon Prime if you're a senior?

Amazon does not offer a specific senior discount based on age. Seniors pay the standard Amazon Prime rate of $14.99 per month or $139 per year, unless they qualify for a low-income discount.

However, seniors who receive certain types of government assistance can get Amazon Prime Access for $6.99 per month (over 50% off).

How to Get Prime for $6.99/Month

If you participate in any of the following programs, you are eligible for the discounted Prime Access tier, which offers all the same benefits as a standard membership:

  • SNAP / EBT
  • Medicaid
  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI) (Note: Standard Social Security or Medicare alone do not qualify)
  • Direct Express Prepaid Debit Card
  • LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program)
  • TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families)

To apply, you must submit proof of participation (such as an image of your EBT card or a benefit letter) on the Amazon Prime Access landing page.

Other Ways for Seniors to Save

If you do not qualify for Prime Access, you can still lower your costs with these strategies:

  • Pay Annually: Choosing the yearly $139 payment instead of the monthly fee saves you $40.88 over the course of the year.
  • Use Amazon Household: You can split the cost of a standard membership by linking your account with another adult in your home through Amazon Household.
