Despite difficult financial times, we all still need the essentials to live, and with the holidays approaching, we're starting to build our gift lists too. What if there was a way to make a difference with the shopping you're going to do anyway?No matter where you stand on the war, you want to help out the troops, right? Well now there's an organization that has developed an easy-to-use shopping program that gives you discounts at places you visit every day and gives up to 30 percent of the price of online purchases to U.S. troop charities.
TroopShopper is a company that is dedicated to helping the men and women who work to insure our freedom every day. They have worked to negotiate donations and deals with a variety of popular stores across the country.
How does it work?
You can become a member by visiting www.TroopShopper.com. After signing up, you receive a membership packet and discount card. Some of the stores participating in the program include Starbucks, Sharper Image, AMC Theaters, AT&T, PetSmart, Papa Johns, Buy.com, The Body Shop, Walmart and many more.
There are stores in just about any category you can imagine where you can save up to $2,000 a year. Once you are a member, you have access to a tool where you can search for participating stores by city and store type like electronic, automotive and clothing. But where you can make the most difference is by shopping online.
