"Come Home to Savings!"

Commissaries and industry create more opportunities to save for the military community 

More opportunities to save are on the horizon for commissary customers thanks to a new initiative created by the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) and its industry suppliers.

Known as "Come Home to Savings, Shop Your Local Commissary - this joint DeCA and industry promotion will be coming to commissaries worldwide starting in August," said DeCA Director and CEO Bill Moore.

"We are partnering with our network of manufacturers, suppliers and distributors to offer our service members and their families even more savings," he said.  "We're not only offering everyday savings and weekend and seasonal events, but we're also putting special emphasis on health and wellness."

There are several ways customers can "Come Home to Savings." In-store promotions, the agency's CLICK.2GO curbside service, and DeCA's website, www.commissaries.com, digital coupons, will all lead to these special savings.

The following are some ways customers will access "Come Home to Savings" opportunities:

• Commissary Rewards Cards. Customers without a rewards card can ask any employee at their commissary for one and register it on the portal, www.MyCommissary.com, to set up a customer account.  Once registered, they can download digital coupons instantly and enter to win special events and giveaways.
• In-Store Coupons. Customers may find a multitude of in-store high-value coupons located on the shelves, as well as when they walk in the door and find military-affiliated free magazines that include commissary/military-only coupons.
• Commissary Store Brands. Commissaries have their own private label brands offering quality comparable to national brands with even deeper savings. Look for DeCA's own store brands, Freedom's Choice and HomeBase, as well as other private label brands such as Full Circle organics, Tippy Toes baby products, Wide Awake ready-to-drink coffee products, Pure Harmony pet food; TopCare health and beauty and Flock's Finest wild bird food.
• Your Health and Wellness Programs. The Dietitian Approved Thumb (DAT) makes it easy for shoppers to find high-performance, nutrient-dense foods; look for the DAT label on the shelves. Dietitian-approved fueling stations offer nutritious on-the-go meals and snacks. Posters in the center store highlight affordable and nutritious dietitian-approved quick and easy-to-make meals. There is a "dietitian alongside you" at Your Commissary!
• YES! Program. The YES! Program offers everyday great savings on many of the items that customers buy frequently. The items are marked by bright orange and blue YES! labels.
• Deal of the Week. On select Thursdays in commissaries located in the U.S., customers will find seasonal products with slashed sales prices. These deals last three to four days while quantities last. Look for "Deal of the Week" signage and the sales flyer for super discount pricing.
• Saving the Best for Last! Throughout the entire month of August, authorized patrons worldwide will have the opportunity to enter to win a $500 shopping spree (www.militarycontests.com). The winners will be awarded their prize in commissary gift cards at the beginning of September. On August 14, stateside commissaries will host a "Come Home to Savings Excitement Day," offering product sampling and instant giveaways such as commissary gift cards and high-value coupons while supplies last.

"Come home to the savings you deserve is the message we're communicating to our customers," Moore said, "we are here to help them find the very best deals in grocery shopping every day on the installation- that's what this campaign is all about."

Effective Sunday May 13, 2021 face covering are not required for entry.

The Ord Community Commissary remains fully committed to protecting the health, safety and well-being of our entire team while also ensuring the safety of each patron who enters our store.  May 13, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Defense issued updated guidelines in removing indoor and outdoor mask requirements for fully vaccinated personnel at DoD facilities.
