Golden Buckeye Program

The Golden Buckeye program has been helping older Ohioans and other eligible adults make community connections for more than four decades.

More than two million Ohioans are eligible for the Golden Buckeye card, honored at thousands of businesses statewide. Golden Buckeye cardholders have saved an estimated $2 billion since 1976. All Ohioans age 60 or older, as well as adults age 18-59 who have disabilities as defined by Social Security, are eligible for a free Golden Buckeye card. Facebook Post and Comment Policy

Holiday Shopping Tip of the Day: Don’t Overlook the Grocery Clearance Aisle!

Holiday decorations aren’t the only bargains after the holidays! Check your grocery store’s clearance section for pantry staples and seasonal items like:

-Baking supplies
-Cheese and wine
-Limited-edition seasonal flavors

Look for products with distant “sell by” dates or items that can be safely frozen and stored for next year. A little planning now means big savings later!

Holiday Shopping Tip of the Day: Keep Your Business Off the Curb!

Putting boxes from expensive items—like TVs, computers, or appliances—out for trash or recycling can attract unwanted attention. To protect your home:

Break down boxes and conceal them in trash bags
Place packaging under other items in the recycling bin
Consider taking boxes directly to a recycling center

A little extra effort can help keep your home and belongings safe!

Holiday Shopping Tip of the Day: Curb Your Enthusiasm Online!

Resist the urge to share details or photos of expensive gifts—like TVs, computers, or jewelry—on social media. While you may trust your friends, you can’t always control who sees your posts. Oversharing could unintentionally invite theft.

Keep your celebrations private and your valuables safe!

Holiday Shopping Tip of the Day: Stock Up for Next Year!

Right after the holidays—and even in the final days before—many retailers slash prices on seasonal items like:

-Holiday cards
-Decorations
-Wrapping paper
-Lights
-Gifts and home goods

If you have the budget and storage space, taking advantage of these clearance sales can save you money and set you up for success next year. A little planning now means less stress (and more savings) later!

Holiday Shopping Tip of the Day: Give returns and exchanges some time!

Don’t rush out after the holidays to return your unwanted items. Depending on when the gift-giver purchased the item and the retailer’s return policy, you may have several weeks to return or exchange your items. Waiting may mean shorter lines and better inventory for exchanges.

Holiday Shopping Tip of the Day: Beware of porch pirates!

With more people shopping online, package theft is on the rise. Track your deliveries and try to have someone home—or nearby—to bring packages inside quickly. If that’s not possible, consider these alternatives:

-Arrange delivery to a trusted neighbor or friend
-Use ship-to-store or locker pickup options
-Request signature confirmation for added security

Stay alert and keep your holiday gifts safe!

Holiday Shopping Tip of the Day: Give a gift in their name!

Have someone on your list who’s hard to shop for? Skip the guesswork and give a gift that truly matters by making a donation to their favorite charity in their name! It’s thoughtful, impactful, and supports a cause they care about. You may also ask the charity for a donation certificate—or create your own—and present it in a festive card or frame!

It’s a meaningful keepsake that shows you put care into their gift. This kind of giving spreads joy far beyond the holidays!

Holiday Shopping Tip of the Day: Turn loose change into gift cards!

If you have jars of loose change around your home, you can easily turn that change into gift cards at an automated coin-counting machine in most major grocery or department stores. Many of these machines waive fees if you convert your change into a featured gift card instead of cash!

Holiday Shopping Tip of the Day:

Give them a time-saving meal or basket of goodies! Busy adults may appreciate practical gifts more! Head to your favorite Golden Buckeye program merchants and give a loved one the gift of convenience and comfort!

Time-Saving Meals – Surprise your loved one with a ready-to-cook meal kit or a frozen gourmet dinner can be a lifesaver during the busy season.

Basket of Goodies – Fill a festive basket with snacks, teas, jams, or local treats for a cozy, thoughtful surprise.

These gifts are practical, personal, and thoughtful!
