Not sure what happened to my original First To Review?? But I guess I'll write it again:(
The Commissary is the grocery store on base to serve families who are typically living on base. However, those who have served and are still on active duty living off base reap the benefits of shopping at this grocery store too, which offers lower prices than the typical grocery store.
It's not convenient for me but the prices on produce, meat and dairy are worth the drive. No taxes charged here, so great savings. Alcohol is purchased at the LIquor store not at the commissary, and its located just down the street.
I always carry some cash with me to tip the helpers that carry the groceries out to my car. Around .50 cents a bag I heard is acceptable.
I can't find all the items I need/want here but when I'm on base I load up with meats which are wonderfully priced. Bakery always has nice AF themed cakes too. You need a valid Military ID at check out when purchasing your groceries so don't forget it!
