Commisary Shop

I don't make weekly trips to the Commisary (the grocery store on the Air Base) for two reasons: it is about 35 minutes away and they don't publish weekly sale ads. They do have weekly sales, but you just have to look around for the "manager's specials" as they call them to see what is on sale. However, it is one of the perks of being a military life. The prices are usually average unless the item is on sale and then they are fantastic!

I had a doctor's appointment on base today, so made a trip to see what I could rack up...and the deals were GREAT!!

Total Spent: $31.32

Coupon Savings: $8.69 or 20%

I'm not sure the total savings because they don't print on your receipt the before sale price or the "today you saved..." that most stores do. But, I got some great deals!! Here are the deals:


Oranges = $.59/lb
Fresh Pears = $.69/lb
Cabbage = $.29/lb
Butterball Turkey Bacon = $1.48 with $.55/1 coupon = $.93 each
Marcol Tissues = $.99 with $1/1 coupon = FREE
Marcol Napkins = $1.50 with $1/1 coupon = $.50
Duncan Hines Cake Mix - $.89 with $.55/2 coupon = $.62 each
Kotex Maxi Pads = $2.77 with $1/1 coupon = $1.77
Kotex Tampons = $2.75 with $1/1 coupon = $1.75
Lunchmeat (12 oz) = $2.25 with $1/2 coupon = $1.50 each
Kerr Whole Grain Pretzels = $.49 each


There is also a mark down section in the store that has products that are marked substantially down because of banged up packaging. I got the following deals from that section:


Fleischmans Yeast Strip = $.99 with $.55/1 coupon = $.44
Ban Deoderant = $1.13 with $.40/1 = $.73
Fiber One and Chex = $4.10 total with $1/2 coupon = $1.55 each
Canned Mushrooms (big can) = $.67
Canned Corn and Tomatoes = $.38 each
Canned Saurcraut = $.56 each and they had attached coupons for $2 sausage!!


Oh, and did I mention that purchases on base are TAX FREE?!?!? Sweet deal!
