Lifestyle, Health and Family

Military life asks a lot of you and your family — and that doesn’t stop the moment you leave service. Whether you’re currently serving, recently transitioned to civilian life, or a long-standing veteran, this is where you’ll find the best discounts on the everyday stuff that keeps life ticking over — from gym memberships and health appointments to days out with the kids and the bits that make a house feel like a home.

Health and Fitness

Staying fit is second nature when you’ve served — and most veterans want to keep that up long after leaving. Whether you’re still in uniform or building a new routine in civvy street, there’s no reason to pay full price for supplements and sports nutrition. MyProtein regularly runs promotions of up to 70% off throughout the year — so it’s always worth checking their current deals before buying elsewhere.

Beyond fitness, health and beauty essentials are something every household goes through. Boots regularly puts out discount codes open to everyone — no military verification needed — making it easy for serving personnel, veterans and their families to save on prescriptions, skincare and everyday health products. And if you want to treat yourself or someone at home to a decent fragrance without paying full price, Fragrance Direct offers savings of up to 40% off across their range — a genuinely good way to pick up quality perfumes and aftershaves for less.

Family Life

Military families — both serving and veteran — know better than most how much upheaval life can throw at you. Frequent moves, school changes, long periods apart and the adjustment back to civilian life all put pressure on the whole household. Anything that makes day-to-day family life a little easier — and a little cheaper — is worth knowing about.

You’ll find discounts here on everything from children’s activities and soft play centres to tutoring services and school supplies. Whether you’re a serving parent managing yet another relocation or a veteran family settling into a new community, some of these offers can take the edge off what can be a stressful transition.

Lifestyle — the Everyday Stuff

This category covers the kind of spending that doesn’t fit neatly into one box — grooming, clothing, home essentials, subscriptions and services that just make life run more smoothly. It’s relevant whether you left the forces last month or twenty years ago. Forces schemes like Blue Light Card and Defence Discount Service are open to veterans as well as serving personnel, and we pull together the best offers here so you’re not hunting across multiple sites.

Looking After Yourself

It’s easy to put your own wellbeing at the bottom of the list — especially during the transition out of service, when there’s a lot to navigate. But mental health support, fitness tools and self-care don’t have to be expensive. We regularly update this section with relevant offers — so whether you’re after a new running app, a yoga class or just a decent pair of trainers at a fair price, have a browse and see what’s available.

All offers are checked and updated regularly. If something has changed or you spot an offer that should be on here, get in touch — we’re always looking to add more.
