Sometimes just asking 'Do you have a discount for senior citizens?' is all it takes to get some incredible savings. My friend, who shall remain anonymous at this time (a lady never tells her age!) does this everywhere we go, and she really racks up freebies and savings!

Life'd has a list of 19 huge discounts that seniors probably didn't know they could get. Pass the world y'all, these are pretty awesome!

  • Get a better mortgage rate - you could lower your payments with the help of The Home Affordable Refinance Plan
  • Installing a home alarm system - ADT is currently offering $800 in savings if you just pay the installation fee
  • Deals on cruises - if you are over 55, look for discounts from such big names as Carnival Cruises and Royal Caribbean
  • Lower auto insurance rates - a new website, Best Quotes Auto Insurance, helps you compare rates from multiple companies at the same time
  • Save on Medical costs - some insurance companies will send you a senior discount card for prescriptions. Be sure to check if yours does!
  • Take online surveys, and get paid for it - Survey Junkie is your go to spot to make some extra money!
