Scott's View: Back to School Shopping With Veterans Advantage

August 4, 2020

Scott's View

If you’re like me, a father of 3, whenever the calendar turns to August an internal alarm signals a time to prepare. It is time for back to school shopping!

And while the road may continue to be focused on COVID-19, back to school prep takes on greater meaning because parents need to be nimble & ready for whatever the schools decide: kids going back to the classroom, continuing the distance learning format from the spring, or a hybrid of the two.

Fortunately, VetRewards has exclusive savings to help you with each of these scenarios. With our 50% OFF COVID-19 sale, you continue to benefit from first-rate shopping brands like CVS/pharmacy, Dell, Icing & 1800-Baskets. There’s more in our Everyday Shopping & Home & Office areas of the Military Discounts Marketplace.

Stay safe and healthy!
