To capitalize on that low cost of living, seniors can also take advantage of discounts on all kinds of things around town, from groceries and home goods to entertainment and museums.<\/p>\n<h2>Here are 10 smart deals for seniors in Phoenix:<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Basha\u2019s grocery stores<\/strong> offer 10% off tabs of $15 and more on the 1st Wednesday of the month.

Visitors get the best discount of all: Admission is always free.<\/li>\n<li>One of Phoenix\u2019s oddest pieces of architecture, <strong>Tovrea Castle at Carraro Heights<\/strong>, looks like a layer cake protected by a moat of cactus.
