The best discounts for seniors, nurses, military, and more of 2020

While it's always possible to find a great deal or sale online at any given moment, another key way to save is by taking advantage of the year-round discounts available to seniors, students, military, first responders, and more recently, healthcare workers. Plenty of retailers choose to reward these hardworking members of society by offering up their products and goods for less on an ongoing basis.

Whether you're a student struggling through a virtual lecture, a frontline worker treating COVID-19 patients, or an active duty soldier, we've compiled this list of discounts to help you save on the stuff you actually need this year. Ahead, find our ultimate reference guide of discounts for these special groups of shoppers. 

Just keep in mind that retailers will require you to confirm your eligibility either through uploading a valid form of identification, proof of enrollment/employment, or by using a third-party verification service such as Sheer ID or ID.Me. In addition, many student discounts can also be found via UniDays and StudentBeans.
