How do you respond to solicitors who try to take advantage of your military status?

Many solicitors know your neighborhood well, especially if you are military. Despite seeing the "No Soliciting" sign (if you have one)they still knock at your door. What do you say to them? What phrase catches do they use to try to sell their product or services?

I haven't had any try and take advantage that I am military, but when they do come around I usually have a few kids running around and I just let them know I am not interested and have to get back to the rugrats.

One guy tried to sweeten the deal on a large bulk steak purchase when I moved here. Told him I was not remotely interested one bit. Next, I told him that I only buy from stores and not from a beat up truck that drives in the neighborhood. He tried to give me a military discount for $400 worth of frozen steaks. I never went to his truck by the driveway either. I asked why would I need $400 of steak in my home and he said it was because he supports the military.
Found out later online that that company had bad reputation for worthless food that was not steak. Good thing I told him to leave my house.
