Facing the Commis-scary

Ashley Frisch by Ashley Frisch

  • Accept that the mind-boggling layout of the Commissary basically makes you Alice in the Wonderland of grocery stores and give up early on making any sense of it. Even if you do eventually magically finally figure out how to navigate the aisles, they’re only going to change the layout on you a week or two later to keep you on your toes. Give into the insanity and be thankful it’s at least not as big as the Wonderland of furniture stores, IKEA.
  • If you prefer to eat Organic accept that sadly most Commissaries, (at least that I’ve been to), have not caught up to the regular grocery stores on the amount of organic products they carry and plan accordingly. This may mean having to plan on either hitting two stores or changing your meal plan to include only the organic meats and vegetables your local Commissary stocks. For example, our current local Commissary carries organic beef but not chicken, so I know that if I’m planning to make a chicken recipe that week I’ll have to hit up a separate grocery store after my Commissary trip. The same goes for wild fish. Unfortunately, none of the Commissaries I’ve been to yet carry wild salmon, only farmed, so I choose to buy salmon for my family elsewhere.

Once I figured out what to expect at my local Commissary, I found that it’s a great benefit to our family as it definitely provides a hefty discount on groceries and household products. Every little bit helps, and the Commissary can definitely help your family save more than a little bit too. Hopefully these tips help it be not so Commis-scary and save you some peace of mind on your next, or first, shopping trip there.
