Shop your commissary for discounts on game-day treats that help you save more money

FORT LEE, Va. – It’s win or go home for professional football teams competing for a spot in the big game. However, military customers all come out victorious if they shop their commissary for the food and drinks to score big at their house party or barracks get together.

 “I don’t know who’s going to win it all in football, but I do know your commissary has everything you need to save a lot on your big game menu,” said Army Command Sgt. Maj. Tomeka N. O’Neal, senior enlisted advisor to the DeCA director. “Chicken wings, veggie and fruit trays, nacho fixings, pizzas, sodas, water, snacks and dips – whatever you want is available at discounted savings.

“And don’t lose out on the savings at your base exchange on that big screen television at discounted prices, either,” she said.

O’Neal advises customers to prepare for their shopping trip by visiting the MyCommissary online portal to download Commissary Rewards Card digital coupons, access the sales flyer and find out about featured promotional items, commissary brands, links to coupons and more. The sales flyer offers a “Thinking Outside the Box” section, giving patrons quick solutions for dietitian-approved, economical meal and snack options.
