]]> New Fiscal Year, Same Mission: Stretch Every Dollar Like a Guard Family Pro https://blog.mymilitarysavings.com/new-fiscal-year-same-mission-stretch-every-dollar-like-a-guard-family-pro/ Wed, 27 Aug 2025 18:34:44 +0000 https://blog.mymilitarysavings.com/?p=42817 There’s something about October in a dual-Guard household that just feels like a full system reboot. New fiscal year? Check. New routine after summer chaos? Kind of. Calendar filled up with drills, trainings, and a million “are we free that weekend?” conversations…Absolutely.

While the National Guard resets its spending plans and budgets, we’re over here doing the same, but with our caffeine of choice in hand, a cart full of snacks, and that familiar feeling of “how do I make this all work without breaking the bank?”

Between back-to-school shifts, fall holidays creeping in, and the colder months coming fast, now is the perfect time to reset your own mission: stock up smart, plan with purpose, and stretch those dollars like the budget boss you are. 

Whether it’s prepping for a drill weekend, building out an emergency stockpile (because we know random weather and surprise orders are real), or just getting back on track after a summer of we’ll figure it out later, a little intention goes a long way. 

You don’t have to DIY with your budget refresh. We have you covered with: 

Guard families don’t wait until January to make resolutions. We do it on the fly, in the aisles of the grocery store, with a toddler on one hip and drill gear in the trunk. This new fiscal year is your reminder: you’ve got another fresh start to prioritize your people, your pantry, and your peace of mind. 

So whether you’re meal prepping before a weekend out in the field, buying bulk snacks for the FRG event, or just trying to keep your household from spiraling into a fast-food-every-night hole — now’s the time to shop smart, save smarter, and make that Guard Life hustle just a little easier. 

Check out the latest Commissary savings, grab your coupons and load your digital ones to your Rewards Card, and keep showing up for your family and your wallet this fiscal year. 

You’ve got this — one clipped coupon and stocked pantry shelf at a time.

]]> Gain That White Smile With Sensodyne https://blog.mymilitarysavings.com/gain-that-white-smile-with-sensodyne/ Tue, 01 Dec 2020 12:00:35 +0000 https://blog.mymilitarysavings.com/?p=35283 We all dream of having that perfect smile – with white teeth. I don’t know about you – but my teeth take a beating with coffee and wine. Add in foods and smoking (if you do), then your teeth really struggle with staying white. 

Sensodyne can help you to white your teeth gently. If your teeth are sensitive, it can be very painful to do any type of whitening products on your teeth. Receding gums, cavities, or other imperfections in your teeth can allow for pain to creep in when trying to maintain a whiter smile. Strips can cause shooting pain if your teeth are extremely sensitive and also be hard on the enamel coating your teeth.

Using Sensodyne toothpaste, you can achieve that white smile that you desire! Even better, your wallet won’t feel the pain either! In December, from the 16th-31st, the Pronamel Gentle Whitening and Extra Whitening will be on sale for $3.79. This is a hot deal that you are not going to want to miss! 

Ring in the New Year with a whiter smile! Head over to your local commissary and snag this great deal now! Visit the GSK Page to view more of our great deals for this month!

]]> Whip up a Bailey’s Frappuccino for Happy Hour! https://blog.mymilitarysavings.com/whip-up-a-baileys-frappuccino-for-happy-hour/ Mon, 31 Jul 2017 07:13:12 +0000 http://blog.mymilitarysavings.com/?p=17934 Hey everyone! It’s the end of the week and almost the end of July! You know what that means? School is right around the corner! I can’t believe my wonderfully lazy summer has almost come to an end. I better start stocking up on COFFEE (one of my true loves) now to help me get through those early morning wake-ups. I chose an especially yummy coffee frappuccino with a kick this weekend to help me celebrate my kids going back to school. If I don’t celebrate, I may cry (Kindergarten, am I right?) and I definitely don’t want to do that!

Bailey’s Frappuccino (AKA the Back to School Special!)

  • 1/2 cup coffee, cooled
  • 1/4 cup cream, milk, half & half, or your favorite creamer
  • 1/4 cup Bailey’s Irish Cream, any one of their delicious flavors!
  • 1 cup Ice
  • Whipped cream and chocolate syrup, optional
  • Sweetener, optional

Simply pour all of your ingredients, except the chocolate syrup and whipped cream, into a blender. I don’t usually add sweetener to my coffee so I didn’t add any to my frappuccino. Blend until you have a nice slushy, boozy milkshake! Pour chocolate syrup down the inside of your glass to give it that fancy touch!

Add your frappuccino to the glass and top with whipped cream, if desired. You could even add more chocolate syrup on top. Hey, you survived the summer! You earned it!

How pretty is that? I can tell you it tastes JUST as good as it looks. I’m starting to think all frappuccinos are missing that little extra kick of Bailey’s Irish Cream. 😉 This drink would work with ALL of their amazing flavors! To keep it dairy free, you can use Bailey’s Almande and replace the cream with almond milk. YUM!

If you wanted to make a yummy treat for the kids, simply skip the booze and use decaf coffee. If they’re anything like my kids, they will go crazy for a special coffee house drink made just for them! (Without the coffee house price tag for you!)

As always, please remember to drink responsibly! For more information, recipes, and coupons check out mymilitarysavings.com!
