When the dog food bag is suddenly empty, the cat has decided today’s flavor is unacceptable, and the treat jar is suspiciously bare, convenience matters.

With Click2Go, you can order groceries and pet essentials from the Commissary online and choose curbside pickup or, at participating locations, delivery. In fact, about 70 Commissaries now offer delivery if you live within 20 miles, making it even easier to stock up without rearranging your whole day.

A typical pet parent cart might include:

• Dog or cat food
• Treats (obviously)
• Training treats
• Pet toppers or broth
• Cleaning supplies

If spring has taught us anything, it’s that mud season is real and those cleaning supplies come in handy.

For military families juggling busy schedules, Click2Go means fewer last-minute runs and more time for the important stuff, walks, couch cuddles, and backyard zoomies. Personally, I love that it saves me time so I can spend more of it with my dog, whether that’s heading out for a hike, wandering along the beach, or just getting outside together instead of running errands.

Here at Military Pet Club, we’re always looking for ways to save time to spend more time with our furry kiddos and sharing seasonal pet tips that will help make this military life better. So next time the treats run out overnight (again), try Click2Go, your pets will definitely approve.

Many off-base grocery store chains have a rewards card but did you know the commissary has one as well? With the cost of food on the rise, almost everyone is looking for ways to save money. Digital coupons can help with that. If you aren’t familiar with digital coupons they are just like paper but in electronic form. They offer discounts, offers, and promotions. They can be manufacturers and store-specific coupons.

The commissary publishes a weekly sales flyer that features deals and specials. This is the best place to see the instant savings you can retrieve by using your card. The sales flyer is found on the commissaries website: shop.commissaries.com. (Keep in mind, that the weekly specials run from Monday to Sunday).

Obtaining a card is as easy as 1-2-3.

Step 1: Pickup a card at your local commissary. The cashiers can help you with this.

Step 2: Register your card through the shop.commissaries.com site.

Step 3: Log into your account to load new coupons onto your card. (To load coupons click on the savings icon and then select coupons from the dropdown. From this window, you can search or browse for your desired coupons. You can even browse by category. When you find the coupons you want simply click “Clip and Save” below the coupon to claim them. You can view all your clipped coupons by clicking the “My Digital Coupons” button at the top of the page.

Step 4: Redeem your digital coupons by entering your Rewards ID at the checkout.

The process is so simple! I was pleasantly surprised to see coupons for many everyday items such as cereal, frozen meals, snacks, beverages, dairy, health and beauty, and even household items such as laundry detergent and tissue.

There are many advantages to using digital coupons such as:

• Saving money on must-have items. If you are going to buy certain items any way you might as well save money!
• Help manage food costs. Coupons manage the cost of canned, frozen, and packaged goods which leave room in the budget for fresh foods and meats.
• Saves you time. It’s painless and hassle-free

I remember when I started couponing years ago I really had no clue what I was doing. I found it somewhat time-consuming. I had to buy newspapers which could sometimes be hard to find, and depending on the amount I wanted it could get expensive. Not to mention keeping up with all the paper and having to spend lots of time going through them all to discard the expired coupons I didn’t get a chance to use. Well fast forward a few years and everything has changed. The great thing about clipping coupons online now is that they remain on your account until they are redeemed and once they expire they disappear from your account automatically. Saving money sure has gotten so much easier.

If you are looking to save money with minimal effort then grab a commissary rewards card today! Happy Clipping! Happy Saving!!

Luckily, as always the Commissary had me covered. If you haven’t tried the Commissary’s CLICK2GO service I would highly recommend it. It’s so easy to use! You can get all your pantry staples and fresh food without stepping foot in the store. You can place orders from your desktop computer or your mobile device. Now you may have tried a similar service at some of your favorite retailers but some of the unique things I found when placing my first order was that the $4.95 service fee was waived and there was no minimum amount to spend to place an order. You still have access to the promotions and deals available in the store and for those who love coupons, you can redeem your digital coupons by ensuring your rewards ID is loaded into your profile.

Pro Shopping Tip: ALWAYS get online and check the current sales flyer! The Commissary offers everyday low prices. On average, shoppers can save more than 30 percent compared to shopping in town, and by clipping those digital coupons you can save even more.

Making your payment is easy with additional options like using your Military STAR card to complete your order.

Pickup is also a breeze. When you arrive follow the signs to your store’s pickup location. My store has designated parking spaces in the front of the store while other installations may offer pickup in the back.
