Shopping Deals for the Military

One thing I have noticed over the years being a part of the military community is that very few people take advantage of the military discount. Don’t be afraid to ask for it! What I do is, whatever money I “save” from the discount I put into a specific account to save it. Then when we wan to do something fun whether it is an extra date night or maybe we travel somewhere we have extra money to use. Here is a few places that offer the discount that I have found:
