FORT LEE, Va. – From Cinco de Mayo to Memorial Day, commissary shoppers will find great deals on top-quality, low-priced food to fit their lifestyle and outdoor activities this May.
“Spring is a great time of year to clean off the grill and take advantage of great commissary prices on fresh choice grade-A beef, pork and chicken,” said Randy Chandler, DeCA’s sales director. “We’ve even got great deals on our fresh fish.”
DeCA’s industry partners – vendors, suppliers and brokers – are collaborating with commissaries in May to offer discounts beyond everyday savings. Overseas stores may have substitute events for certain promotional programs. Customers are asked to check their local commissary for details on dates and times for the following promotions:
ConAgra Foods and Mission Foods are providing stateside commissaries the “Cinco de Mayo – Create a Fiesta Tonight” sale April 24 - May 7. The displays of their products together give shoppers a convenient Cinco de Mayo meal solution center featuring recipes and coupons.
Throughout May stateside commissary shoppers can enter the “Win a Family 4th of July in Washington DC” sweepstakes. The grand prize is a trip for four to Washington, D.C., which includes round-trip airfare, four nights in a hotel and tickets to the July 2 Nationals baseball game. Shoppers will be automatically entered to win by simply purchasing four Kellogg’s participating brands and using their Commissary Rewards Card at the checkout.
The annual “Honoring Our Heroes” essay contest is a way shoppers can honor their military heroes or military spouses. Shoppers can go to www.gatorademilitary.com and submit a 200-word essay on why their military hero or spouse deserves this honor. Each entrant will get a free Gatorade product coupon – only to be used in a commissary – and a coupon organizer.
Acosta Military supports the Fisher House Foundation with a “Celebrating our Heroes Sale.” Fisher House is “a home away from home” for families of patients receiving medical care at major military and Veterans Affairs medical centers. Commissary customers will find high value coupon flyers distributed worldwide May 8 - June 4. Partial sales proceeds from this promotion go to the Fisher House Program.
NASCAR and official partners, Coca-Cola, M&M’S and Mondelez are partnering with the commissaries to offer shoppers a chance to win the “NASCAR – An American Salute” sweepstakes where four (4) winners will receive a trip for two (2) to Las Vegas, Nev. for the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion’s Week activities.
NASCAR’s sponsors for this sweepstakes will have in-store displays beginning May 23, and commissary customers can enter to win online at www.2014ChampionsWeekSweeps.com, text “NASCARSALUTE” to 313131 or mail in an entry form.
“Look for these promotions and specials on quality products when you shop in your commissary this May,” said Chandler. “Your commissary is always the place for service members, past and present, and their families to save on groceries.”
