Home Instead Senior Care and various senior care and financial experts offer a few more tips to help seniors stretch their dollars:
- Look for deals on generic medications. Contact your Richmond area pharmacist about ways to save money on your prescriptions.
- Walk when you can. If gas prices are cutting into your social life, organize a walking club or walk with friends.
- Carpool when you can’t walk. There’s economy in numbers.
- Close off parts of the house you’re not using to cut down on utility costs.
- Financial planner Sheryl Garrett says the ability of seniors to live at home helps cut costs as well.
