Even if your soldier is fortunate enough to be in an FOB like Liberty or Victory, the PX's are seldom fully stocked, and the inventory evidently changes often. When our sons were deployed, they were constantly wanting new games, dvd's, snack food, their favorite toiletries and razors, sheets, and 'stuff from home'.

In the sidebar on the left, you will find links to American stores and businesses that actively support our military and their families.


And please, don't miss the Archived Section containing priceless information on shipping to your soldier! I will occasionally copy that post as new so that it will stay close to the top, as it contains valuable information.

Stores and Shopping Venues:

I'll be updating these posts frequently! I'm sure there are many stores that offer military discounts, but there are some companies that actually broadcast it and don't make you feel weird for asking. Those are the ones I want you to know about and will be posting here.

Sears and Sears.com: Sears seems to be the most proud of our troops, and will do all possible to employ military personnel, milspouses and veterans. They offer military discounts on virtually everything they sell, and are worthy of our business.
amazon.com : amazon.com com is one of the few companies that will ship directly to APO and FPO addresses. You can find virtually everything from a box of cereal to the absolute latest iPod or laptop. They also have thousands of vendors and small sellers in addition to their own humongous product lines. And best of all, most of amazon's own items can be shipped directly to your soldier!

Known for their has exceptional customer service, I've had a "Prime" Membership for almost 3 years. The savings in gasoline alone more than pays for the annual Prime membership fee, especially when you're ordering things to send to your Soldier! The "Prime" membership gives you FREE 2-day Shipping, and $3.99 Overnight Shipping to your home!
