Military families facing the annual ritual of planning their holiday menus need look no further than their commissary for quality and savings.
“Your commissary has the most affordable, high-quality, name-brand ingredients for the perfect holiday meal,” said Randy Chandler, the Defense Commissary Agency’s sales director. “Whether the menu is a traditional roast turkey and potatoes, or a vegetarian meal with organic fruits and vegetables, you can find everything you need at your commissary to prepare a memorable holiday smorgasbord.”
The commissary industry partners are offering greater savings than ever before through high-value coupon booklets. Some promotions include a free turkey opportunity and there’s a promotion benefitting wounded warriors.
Throughout November, the commissary’s industry partners — vendors, suppliers and brokers — are collaborating with stores to offer discounts beyond everyday savings. Overseas stores may have substitute events for certain promotional programs. Check the local commissary for details on dates and times for the following promotions:
The third annual “Get All the Fixin’s — Save Big on Your Bird.” This worldwide promotion revolves around a 16-page recipe booklet with coupons valued at more than $43. The coupons provide commissary shoppers with greater-than-normal savings or free turkeys when purchasing their holiday meal essentials. Terms and conditions are on the coupons. Recipe booklets will be available in the Ramstein Commissary now through Nov. 28.
Participating brand products present the “Believe in Heroes!” promotion. Commissaries worldwide will receive 250,000 flyers containing high-value coupons. During the sale, most participating brands will provide donations to the Wounded Warrior Project foundation.
“Your commissary offers all the items you need for your holiday meals,” Chandler said. “Be sure to stock up now!”
