May the deals be with you: Online military exchange launches 'Toy Tuesdays'

Toy Tuesdays have arrived at ShopMyExchange.com, with deep discounts on certain toys and games.

Savings begin Jan. 23, when the site will feature about 20 toys ― including Star Wars, Marvel and Transformers action figures ― with some items priced 50 percent below regular exchange prices.

On Jan. 30, the shopping site will bring discounts of up to 60 percent on some Play-Doh items.

The deals are on “select” items each week, not necessarily every item of those brands.

The number of sale items will vary weekly, in the range of 10 to 50, said Conner Hammett, a spokesman for the Army and Air Force Exchange Service. The deals are offered from 12:01 a.m. until midnight, local time, each Tuesday.

Toy Tuesdays will continue through the end of the year, at the online site only. ShopMyExchange.com is open to all active, retired and veteran military members of all branches of service. Bargain hunters can explore the deals each week through a link on the front page of the site.
