Commissary Roll Call...

I was just wondering how many of us there are on this site? Please answer on this thread if you shop in military commissaries. You can just say "me" or if you like introduce yourself with as much info as you are comfy with. I'm just curious and would like to get to know more of you. The more we know about each other, the more we can make this forum work for us! AFC is a close knit community and most of us military folks know all about being close knit, right?

I'll start: My name is Delissa aka bellasmama (duh!), DH is an Active duty Marine, though he was wounded in 06 and we are currently stationed in MD/DC while he recovers, before that we were stationed in 29 Palms, CA. I haven't done anything but freelance work since my husband was injured, so I am on AFC quite a bit . I have a just turned 3 year old DD and I shop at Walter Reed Commissary.

Ok, who's next?

Hi My name is Tatiana! My husband is active duty Army and currently works on the burn unit at Brooke Army Medical Center here in San Antonio, Tx taking care of our wounded service men and women - he is my hero! I often shop at the commissary at Randolph AFB because it is closer to my house than the commissary at Fort Sam Houston. My dad is still active duty, i grew up with the military in my life and married into it! I am a lifer!

Hey All!

I just retired from the Air Force on 1 Sep 08 and my husband is still active duty until his retirement in Feb 09. I shop at Shaw AFB, SC commissary and very rarely Ft. Jackson in Columbia, SC. I'm glad bellasmama started this thread. I am totally new to couponing and AFC. Since I mostly shop at the commissary, I could use all the hints I can get.

Glad to meet you all!

Hi everyone! I'll admit it, I totally take advantage of my parents and use them to shop at the commissary. They're both retired from the Air Force. I shop at a hole in the wall on a Marine base out in Barstow, CA (seriously, I've seen Mini-Marts bigger than it!) or if I feel like braving the traffic I drive down to March AFB. I only go once every 3 months so this forum really helps me out with trying to plan my trips!

I am Janelle my DH is AD Army. We just moved from Germany to Hawaii. I shop the comm but it is so much more expensive than what I am used to from Germany so I am trying to figure out this whole deal/coupon thing. It stinks for me and anyone else in OCONUS because the ads online do not always apply to us

I'm Priscilla, married to Evan, Active Duty Navy. We have a DD that is 15 months old and another one due Feb 17th, 2009. We are stationed at NS Mayport, in Jacksonville, FL. I think that about sums us up.

Have you ever been to the one in 29 Palms? It's actually pretty nice and much bigger than the one here at Walter Reed. I grew up in So Cal, lived int he Palm Springs area most of my life.

Hi I'm JoAnn my husband Chris just retired 20 yearsfrom the Army after being in Iraq. I shop at a small commissary Charles E Kelly it's actually getting ready to close next year. I miss shopping at major commissaries. I have a son who's 11 and a 10 year old daughter with Spina Bifida so saving money is something I love to do for my family.
