Those that serve in the Armed Services (and by connection, their families) sacrifice much in the name of the Greater Good.
And though it seems nearly impossible to thank them for that, retailers have at least adopted the practice of offering special discounts to servicemen and women and immediate family members in an effort to lighten the loads they can, in gratitude for those that they cannot.
With that in mind, we’ve rounded up a list of stores offering military discounts year-round below to make them easier to navigate. And though there are a good amount listed, it’s always a good practice to ask at any store you’re shopping at since many don’t advertise, or in case they require in-person verification.
