Sale items include paper products, soap and cleaning products, canned goods, sodas, sport drinks, water, laundry detergents, and a variety of other products at savings of 30 percent or more. Customers must present an appropriate Department of Defense identification card that authorizes commissary privileges in order to shop. Cash, checks, debit and credit cards are accepted for payment. The use of coupons is highly encouraged. Customers should also know that the Defense Commissary Agency sells commissary gift cards throughout the year and not just for the holidays? Anybody can buy the cards in $25 or $50 increments. There is no service charge. The recipient of the card has to be an authorized commissary shopper and can use it at any commissary throughout the world.
