FORT LEE, Va. – Commissary shoppers who resolve to save more and eat healthier in 2022 can greatly help themselves by taking advantage of special in-store promotions and coupons, according to the Defense Commissary Agency’s director of sales.

“As always, a new year is an opportunity to use your commissary benefit to better manage your budget and start incorporating healthier substitutes into your lifestyle,” said Bonita Moffett, DeCA’s director of sales. “Your commissary is here to help you plan those weekend football playoff parties and also save even more on Commissary Store Brands and all your favorite name-brand products.”

Your winter football parties can include a healthy twist: Try tacos with ground turkey, and white chicken chili – a recipe just as hearty and spicy as any meal you’d get in a restaurant. Also, check out the deli counter for meat and cheese platters as well as subs and hoagie platters, making it even easier to “kick off” Game Day.

And as you prepare your game-time menus, also check out the DeCA website for the latest coupon deals, contests and healthy recipes for ways to maximize their benefit. They should also check with their store for details or visit their store page on commissaries.com to verify what’s available.

Throughout January, DeCA’s industry partners – vendors, suppliers and brokers – are collaborating with commissaries to offer discounts beyond everyday savings. Overseas stores may have substituted events for certain promotional programs.

Customers are asked to check their local commissary for details on dates and times for the following promotions:
