Save on your football party items

Shop your commissary for game-time treats

Just as post-holiday recovery begins, we find ourselves in the throes of the final days of football fever. January is loaded with championships, playoffs and wild cards which means a lot of party food, snacks and dips.

“We have everything you need – chicken wings, veggie and fruit trays, nacho fixings, pizzas, sodas, water, snacks and dips – for whatever big game party you’re hosting,” said Tracie Russ, DeCA’s director of sales. “The commissary has loads of football snacking options and promotions that will save our patrons a ton.”

Before you hit the store, visit the “Savings Center” on commissaries.com to download Commissary Rewards Card digital coupons, access the sales flyer and find information on featured promotional items, commissary store brands, links to coupons and more. The website offers a “Thinking Outside the Box” section, giving patrons quick solutions for dietitian-approved and economical meal and snack options.

Overseas stores may have substituted events for certain promotional programs. Customers should check their local commissary for details on dates and times of the following promotions:
