A SOLDIER'S PERSPECTIVE
THE WEB'S LEADING MILITARY BLOG SINCE 2004
Sears is honoring America’s service people (Police, Military, Veterans, Firefighters, Teachers and Hospital Staff) once again on Saturday, August 28, 11 AM-2 PM in-store. The offer is an extra 10% off of apparel, shoes, lawn and garden, tools, home fashions, electronics, automotive and more!
“Local heroes” need to print out the Storewide Savings Pass found in this flyer: http://www.sears.com/ue/home/8.28+Salute+Flyer.pdf, and they also need ID to prove their “local hero” status. You can see lots of great deals in the flyer – tops for $14.99, jeans for $19.99, a comforter for $39.99, etc!
The sale is nationwide with the exception of these cities, which will hold it on September 4, 11 AM-2 PM in-store: Boston. MA; Seattle, WA; Miami, FL; Raleigh-Durham, NC; Dallas, TX and Cincinnati, OH. The offer will be the same: extra 10% off apparel, shoes, lawn and garden, tools, home fashions, electronics, automotive and more.

Sears has been doing a LOT for the troops and I defy the naysayers who say this is just for SEARS to make money. EVERY company holds promotions to make money in the end. However, Sears really does back it up with true troop support. I have personally been the recipient of hundreds of dollars in gift cards through their troop support efforts.
While I would have written about this anyway, Sears asked me to mention this event and sweetened the deal for my readers! Sears has given me two $25 gift cards that can be used in any Sears. To receive one of these gift cards, simply leave a comment to this post and tell me what you would treat yourself to if you won the gift card. It’s that easy. No word count minimums. No strings. I will choose two random comments that will receive the cards. Make sure that when you leave your comment, you use an authentic email address so I can contact you.
While you won’t get these cards in time for this particular sale, there are also 2 upcoming sales in September (9/12 Family & Friends and 9/25 Salute to Heroes), so there are lots of opportunities to use the gift card during a promo as well. So, get commenting!! And don’t forget to take advantage of these great Sears sales offers. My wife and I just spent about $250 at Sears buying stuff for our new house.

Thanks for posting CJ. I have always been a fan of Sears and think they do give to the troops which is awesome. As a Mom of 4- I think a gift card would likely be spent on a new pair of shoes!

Some good friends of mine both qualify: she’s a teacher and he’s Army. I also have 2 cousins that are police officers and Josh’s baseball coach is a police officer. I’ll have to email them all the link!!

Thanks so much CJ & Sears!!!
If I won this, I would probably get something for our house as well…unless my better half just HAS to use it for a new tool:))

I would use it to buy gifts to send to my friends soldier for Christmas

Hi CJ,
I think that I would most likely use the card towards buying items to make up care packages and adopt some soldiers that don’t usually get mail and send them to them. My company does this every year and this year we were able to send over 235 care packages.

I would give this to my father-in-law, who is a firefighter and rescue worker. He’s been wanting camping gear for the longest time!

I am an active duty air force wife of 6 years!
My son has been diagnosed w/ multiple medical conditions including Autism, Obstructive & Central Sleep Apnea, Restless Leg Syndrome & more. We have 1 bed in the house due to finanicial restrictions. My son needs a wide space to sleep in because of his sleep disorders & we are unable to provide him with a larger bed than his crib mattress. So not only does he constantly awaken due to his disorders, but he falls out b/c he moves around so much due to his RLS. We would buy him a bigger bed to help lower the amount of night wakings.
Thank you for your consideration
CJ

I’m probably way to late, but i wanted to say thank you. As a service member myself for the past 11 years i admire those like yourself who are few and far between who actually support who we are and what we do. May God bless you and thanks again.

I would use it to buy gifts to send to my friends soldier for his BirthDay!
