Yokota Air Base – Yokota is offering special giveaways for military shoppers to start the weekend on a high note with Free Fridays on Facebook.
Authorized military shoppers worldwide who comment on the Exchange’s Free Friday post each Friday at Facebook.com/ShopMyExchange will be automatically entered to win a variety of trending products including cookware, rugs, dining sets, mattresses, appliances, power tools and more.
“Free Fridays are an amazing way for the military community to maximize Exchange benefits,” Yokota Exchange General Manager Andrew Defelice said. “We are thrilled to celebrate our community throughout the year by offering these prizes to shoppers.”
The Exchange has given away more than $4,500 in prizes so far in 2025. In 2024, shoppers won nearly $18,000 in prizes including bedding, kitchenware, grills, furniture sets and more. Free Friday winners from military communities have taken home more than $100,000 in prizes since 2017.
Lisa Travis, a Marine Corps spouse, took home an Even Embers 5-burner Stainless Steel Gas Grill valued at $449 in 2024.
“It was a fantastic surprise to win the grill from the Exchange Free Friday contest,” Travis said. “We just moved into a new home. The timing was perfect, and I’m super grateful.”
Free Friday giveaways are open to all authorized Exchange shoppers 18 and older, including honorably discharged Veterans, Department of Defense and Coast Guard civilians, and retirees.
All comments made on the Free Friday Facebook post by 11:59 p.m. Central time on the day of the post will be entered.
