MSNBC talked to Jack Gillis, public affairs director for the Consumer Federation of America, on the Today Show. He said that his organization estimates that senior discounts can range from from 10%-50% on things like travel, medical and health, food and basic household items and recreational activities. Assuming the average older person spends $10,000 to $15,000 a year on these items, the discounts could save them up to $7,500 a year, if they're willing to ask for them.
