Orchid Festival - driver safety program
I took the AARP Driver Safety Program last week (offered to drivers 50 and older) which subsequently reduced my annual auto insurance premium $92.00.  Information regarding the class may be found here: http://www.aarp.org/home-garden/transportation/info-05-2010/auto_insurance_discounts.html.  My class was offered at the local library; however, it may be taken online.

I found this list of discounts:  http://www.seniordiscounts.com/.  If you go to the grocery discounts section, my favorite store, Publix, is listed as giving a 5% discount to those 60+ on Wednesdays.  But what I don't understand is it says, "Available in Select Stores only and does not include stores in Florida."  Go figure!  I'm going to find out why and get back to you on this one.

If you live in Miami-Dade County, seniors are eligible to obtain a "Golden Passport" and ride any Miami-Dade transit (metrorail, buses) for free!  I just learned this last week and need to obtain one myself ... just in case I find a part-time job downtown!  http://www.miamidade.gov/transit/fares_golden.asp
