Milei launches a discount program of up to 20% at supermarkets for retirees

The Ministry of Human Capital has launched a new supermarket discount program for retirees and pensioners who receive payments through ANSES. The measure aims to strengthen the purchasing power of this sector and support the improvements included in the 2026 Budget, which provides for a 5% increase in benefits above the projected inflation rate.

With this initiative, more than 7 million people will be able to access discounts on mass consumption products, which represents direct relief for their wallets and, at the same time, a boost for retail trade, since the program doesn't involve any cost to the State.

Details of supermarket discounts

The benefits include 10% discounts in all categories (except meat, appliances, and selected brands), and in some chains, 20% discounts are added on personal care and cleaning products.

• Disco, Jumbo, and Vea: 10% in all categories + 20% in personal care and cleaning, with no cap.
• Coto and La Anónima: 10% with no cap in all categories.
• Josimar: 15% with no cap in all categories.
• Carrefour: 10% in all categories with a cap of $35,000.
• Día: 10% on all products with a cap of $2,000 per transaction (can be combined with other promotions).

Additional benefits for Banco Nación clients

Thanks to an agreement with Banco de la Nación Argentina (BNA), those who receive their payments there will receive an additional 5% refund on purchases paid with BNA+ MODO, debit or credit cards, with a cap of $20,000 per month.

In addition, the bank offers daily remuneration of the account balance with a nominal annual rate (TNA) of 32% for amounts up to $500,000.

Exclusive benefits at Banco Galicia

In the case of retirees and pensioners who receive their payments through Banco Galicia, they will be able to access savings of up to 25% and 3 interest-free installments in supermarkets, with a cap of $20,000 per month. Benefits are also offered in pharmacies and optical stores with a limit of $12,000.

Clients with remunerated FIMA accounts will also receive daily returns on their money, with a TNA of 33.2% and no balance cap.

A program with direct impact

The measure reinforces the official commitment to improve the purchasing power of older adults. With permanent discounts in supermarkets and associated banking benefits, the goal is to generate a virtuous circle that increases the consumption capacity of retirees and pensioners, while also boosting retail trade throughout the country.
