Has anybody been to the commissary on Pax this week? We are planning on going tomorrow for our usual two week shop. We don't need tp or paper towels mostly dog and cat food and bits and pieces.
Commissary
- Thread starter tuffenuff2
- Start date
better than the local grocery stores.
Giant is finally restocking the meat, but slowly. They have the cases filled in with lunchables and lunch meat.
Some types and cuts are not available (Chicken is slim pickings.)
Produce was ok
Mike and eggs so so - eggs were better this week than last, last week there was only the organic fancy pants brand.
and not to many of those.

Retired hubby, has part time job as a vendor, for the chicken account at the commissary. He says as soon as an order comes in, he puts it out, its bought out immediately.

Probably not...but...he does say there are two women waiting by the meat case and practically grab it out of his hands. I'll have to ask him to look for telltale blueberry stains on their hands.God I hope not

Got in line at 8:45, got into the store at 9:05 only to be told that I'm too young- it's sixty plus between 9-10. Also no bags allowed from home. Very limited chicken. 1 pack of drumsticks, 1 pack thighs, 1 pack boneless thighs and lots of wings. You're only allowed 2 chicken products per person, 1 eggs, 2 pasta boxes, 1 20lb bag of rice. No tp or paper towels but we didn't need any. When you call the commissary the recorded message says they open from 9-7 nothing about senior shopping from 9-10.
You do understand that this is the only way for them to keep those products in stock.

See, if you weren’t hamging with the Corona types and opted for the 10 oz. Bud Light types instead I’ll bet you would know where to find all the ~100 proof stuff you would ever need
Not to bust your chops, but you made a special trip to the commissary to purchase stuff you didn't need??? Isn't that part of the problem?

I thought someone had to put money into your account to use the commissary.

At the prison they do that but not a commissary on a military base. It’s a grocery store but on base.

Yeah, I know. Just wanted to throw some bait out.

Yes. I completely understand. I wasn't complaining just letting you know.

Yep, stopped in on Wednesday.
No, but thank you. First, I'm not very picky eater. Second, I am a very creative cook, and third, I have food and water.
I typically cook fresh, lots of veggies in my diet, complex carbs and proteins.
