Commissary offering new savings and health programs

By Defense Commissary Agency on January 13, 2012

Military members who are rolling out their New Year's resolutions may want to consider the commissary if their pledges involve saving money and healthy living, said the Defense Commissary Agency's sales director.

"Whether it's cash or calories, commissaries are here to help our customers save," said Chris Burns, sales director. "We are kicking off the new year with specials on healthy brands and ‘good for you' recipe booklets that include greatly reduced coupons for all their ‘eating right' diet changes.

"The commissaries are also gearing up for all big football parties, leading up to the king daddy of them all - the Super Bowl!" Burns added. "If they're throwing a football party in the barracks or just watching the game at home, our customers will be able to save money with coupons and better prepare their party menus with recipes designed to score a touchdown with their friends and families."

Throughout January, DeCA's industry partners - manufacturers, vendors, brokers and suppliers - will host many in-store promotions and provide extra savings focused on getting you started in the right direction for 2012. Overseas stores may have substitute events for certain promotional programs. Customers are asked to check their local commissary for the following super sales events:

"Our commissaries are offering shoppers healthy beginnings for the New Year, and we want them to take advantage of all the super savings and contests and giveaways available at their stores this month," Burns said. "But it's not just in January; we work hard to offer our shoppers great savings at their commissary year round."
