If you’re at least 60, take 5% off your bill on Wednesdays at DeCicco Family Markets. This applies to the locations in Ardsley, Armonk, Brewster, Harrison, Larchmont, Millwood, and Pelham.

For more supermarket savings, check out Fairway Market’s 6% for Sixty, which allows an extra 6% off your entire purchase every Tuesday and Wednesday. Show the cashier ID with your age and take heart in getting “proofed” again.

MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS
As open enrollment times rolls around for Medicare (from October 15 to December 7), it’s a good idea to learn which type of plan may be best suited for your needs.
With a Medicare Advantage Plan (MAP), you only have to contract with one insurance company for Medicare Parts A, B and D. Private insurance companies sell MAPs that are approved by Medicare. Every month, Medicare pays the private insurance company a fixed amount, and that company covers your costs, governed by the same standards as Medicare.
With a MAP, the enrollee is no longer covered by Original Medicare and must adhere to the referral and pre-approval requirements set by the MAP. Most MAPs offer extra coverage such as vision, hearing and dental.
Understand your needs and research whether a MAP will provide you with the most appropriate coverage.
