No More Plastic Bag. Plastic bags are already banned in multiple states. Order Online and Curbside Pickup. There are grocery stores that already offer this perk. It would be great if the commissary did too. It would be especially helpful to people that find it hard to get inside to shop, particularly elderly, disabled and parents with babies and small children. There is a program being tested. Hopefully it is successful and becomes a commissary benefit. I saved so much more, I can save so much more shoppingg generic procucts at Walmart!!!
If you want generics, go to those stores. The whole purpose of the commissary is to get brand-name goods at cost. Elaine, I totally agree. I love name brand products, but find them to be almost twice as much outside than in the commissary. Even with the sales, the local stores top brands are still more expensive than our commissary. Every time. I also need to add that the store shelves are not accurately marked for WIC items. What can be done?
The lighting needs to be brighter. Yeah, yeah, yeah.. When building a new store or renovating Command needs to have community involvement. Many stores offer this, at cents per bag USED. Saves the commissary overhead surcharge so why not pass on the savings? The PX also offers a discount for bringing your own bags. That is not the case in our commissary.
From the News Room
Although the px offers this incentive the commissary here does not. Also the commissary at this duty station changes their prices on pay day and charges considerably more for certain items than at other times.
And this was mainly due to not selling store brands or cheaper non brand name items as opposed to name brand items as opposed to off post stores that did. It would be nice to see those changes.. Deck is operating on extortion on that note..
Feb 7, Fort Drum. Closed Store Email: stuntmomfilm.comsary@stuntmomfilm.com Make This My Store Fort Drum, NY United States. Feb 7, Can I use coupons generated from the Internet in a commissary? Yes, commissaries Where can I find a copy of DeCA's coupon policy?.
My wife works at a local commissary and their prices are mandated at all CONUS stores regardless of location. I personally make it a point to verify prices at the commissary vs. Hands down, the commissary has the lowest prices around. Honestly check your local prices.
As to the baggers, something is wrong at your commissary. The hiring and the regulations that govern what they wear and the rules they are required to follow are strictly listed in the commissary regulations nationwide. Someone is feeding you a line and if you believe this stuff, you should check with the store director for clarification.
Rumors are like rain………… they dampen too many good things. I have been reusing my paper bags at Eglin AFB for about 6 months. When they ask if I want paper or plastic, they seem to be surprised I have my own bags, so I think not many people reuse paper bags at this commissary. I started doing this after reading one of your articles. So far no one has offered me a discount for using my old paper bags. I love this article. I know here in Fort Drum the hours at the commissary change during the winter hours.
They close earlier. If they would label the WIC items in the isles that would be lovely. Have better prices. When I first joined it was worth going to the commissary. Now the stores off base offer better discounts, buy one get one free and more on sale items. It used to be the other way around years ago! Better prices. The commissary is so overpriced. Unfortunately, if I want many of our comfort foods I have to shop there. And, the quality of the food at the overseas commissaries are horrible. I agree about the prices. I am trying very hard to support my local commissary.
They just did an overhaul, but now we have a smaller selection of many items and prices have rocketed. I would like to see healthier options like in a health food store. Our soldiers have physical standards to meet and having ALL heavily processed foods is not the answer. Commissaries are no longer the cheapest place for military families to shop.
Grass feed animal meats, not steroid injected, same for milk. There is a huge retiree population here that use the commissary as a social get together. Invest in new facilities!
Fort Drum Commissary
The Commissary is getting better with more fresh items.. In addition.. Also such as Creme Fraiche— more gluten free or low gluten offerings. I would like DECA to keep up with the military and provide better service. Example is Cannon AFB where the base has expanded and has more authorized users than ever but there are no plans to increase the physical size of the commissary or to increase the selection of merchandise. Inevitably, a man has had the major role in redesigning the commissary. How about a little input from the community?
And WHY did they delete so many products? I agree that I can do better in civilian grocery stores. Bring back demoing in the commissary.

I used to demo fresh fruits in the commissary. I did demonstrations in the Moody Air Force Commissary for four years until they switch companies. I would love to come back and demo some of the new products they have coming out from different companies. Also, it would be nice if on occasion the commissaries would offer a double coupon day. I love using my coupons!
Bigger Organic Selection. There is no reason to get snotty about telling someone that wants to save money to go to another store if I want to purchase generic products! Deck is operating on extortion on that note.. You are here: The Commissary System must become more efficient or Congress will begin eliminating the benefits. I love name brand products, but find them to be almost twice as much outside than in the commissary.
Some of my favorite items to purchase at commissary are no longer carried. Can we get advanced warning when you reduce the number of items? If they have those little kid carts at our commissary it will be a disaster. No GMOs,, no injected meats, better labeling more organics. Would like to see more self-serve registers.
10 Changes We’d Love to See at the Commissary
This commissary used to have TONS of coupons but in the last two years, not so much. Do they even get them? Where do they go? Are they selling them on Ebay or Craigslist???? There used to be a lot of vendors handing out coupons or coupons on the shelves with the products.
This is very rare today, but with prices rising its all the more important have those coupons. Check out like at Walmart — do it your self. Baggers are not necessary except for a few for the sick,lame or lazy. After reading all the suggestions that I would like to see in the commissary I guess organic foods, longer store hours and coffee shop, but then when you add these things to the commissary that means more expense in the long run. The commissary was designed to help the service members and their families. I do know I could find some things cheaper at other places, but these cheaper prices are on generic brands and with so many stores a few brand name items on sale so they can lure you into the store.
For me I like to pick out my things myself especially fruits, vegetables and meats so online ordering and curbside delivery would not work for me. The Commissary System must become more efficient or Congress will begin eliminating the benefits. First, lets get rid of the fresh fish counter and the deli. They are underused and not cost effective compared to private sources.
Pricing for many items such as dairy needs to get more competitive. Additionally, DeCA cannot use funds provided for the operation of commissaries to support such promotions, because law strictly prescribes the uses of these funds, and "promotional support" is not among the allowable uses of these funds. Commissaries do occasionally offer a different type of "double coupon" promotion than described above. For these promotions, manufacturers or other coupon issuers agree that commissaries may accept more than one coupon on the purchase of an item, and usually supply large numbers of coupons to patrons in the commissary in support of such promotions.
These "double coupon" promotions involve doubling the number of coupons accepted on the purchase of an item, but DO NOT involve doubling or otherwise increasing the face value of a coupon. I have several coupons with the same dot scan bar code or PIN printed on them. Will the commissary accept them? If an Internet coupon has a dot scan bar code or PIN, it must be unique for each coupon. Commissaries are not able to accept coupons with duplicate dot scan bar code numbers or duplicate PINs. If the coupon "overage" I receive on my transaction exceeds the balance I owe, will I receive cash back?

No, customers may use only one coupon per item in DeCA commissaries. This policy is in line with the policies of other DoD resale activities and our commercial counterparts. My coupon's face value is greater than the selling price of the item. Will the commissary give me the full value of the coupon? Valid coupons are generally entered at the value stated on the coupon. If the face value of a valid coupon exceeds the cost of the product frequently referred to as "overage" , the commissary will give you the full face value of the coupon unless the manufacturer's terms and conditions printed on the coupon prohibit it.
If the coupon's terms and conditions prohibit this, the coupon might require that the price of the item be written on the coupon, up to a maximum value, or may contain other restrictive language, such as "no cash back" or "no cash back if coupon value exceeds retail price. Commissaries are providers of a benefit that sell groceries at cost, and using the gift cards to cover certain refunds and coupon 'overages' discourages practices contrary to DeCA's mission. Why don't commissaries allow both a manufacturer and a military coupon to be used on the same item?
Customers may only use one coupon per purchase in DeCA commissaries. A "purchase" is the item or set of items a customer must buy to meet the purchase requirements listed on the coupon. This policy complies with the terms and conditions set by manufacturers for coupon use, and manufacturers only reimburse DeCA for coupons when commissaries follow these terms and conditions. When retail stores allow customers to use both a store coupon and a manufacturer coupon on the same item, they are still limiting customers to one manufacturer coupon per purchase because store coupons are provided by the retailer and funded by their profits.
This practice is not possible in the commissary system, because by law the commissary sells at cost and cannot make a profit, so DeCA does not issue "store" coupons or coupons of any kind.
