If we want some more selection we drive to Huntsville, AL and use the Redstone Arsenal commissary. If we're in Chattanooga, it's Publix as our go-to store. Without the commissary benefit it would be very difficult for my wife and I to stay within our budget. For use there is a marked difference in the prices in civilian grocery stores and the commissary. Tennessee has a sales tax on groceries that we don't pay at the commissary.hdrichards wrote:
Being retired military we prefer the commissaries when they are within our range of travel.
Are they really worth it. I have been in for 18 years and I seldom shop at commissaries because the suck in every way, selection, quality and service and the price is not that much lower if at all.
