Does shopping at the Commissary really save you money? My answer, it depends. From my experience as a 11 year military wife, it depends on the state you live in, the surrounding areas, and the time at which you shop.
If the cost of living is higher where you are stationed, then the Commissary is always the place to go. If the nearest grocery store is 25 minutes away from post, then the Commissary is cheaper after you factor in gas, etc.. To each its own, but here are my personal tips for saving at the Commissary:

Money Saving Tips
Memorial Day is right around the corner. While many of us see it as a kick off to the summer season full of barbeques and time on the water, Memorial Day has a greater purpose. It's a time to remember those who've died defending our country, and to remind us to support those who defend our freedoms on a daily basis.
You don't have to spend a small fortune to let a soldier know that there are people who think about them. Deployed soldiers often go without many of the things we take for granted on a daily basis, many of which can be picked up with your coupons.

As we prepare to celebrate Armed Forces Day on May 18 and then Memorial Day, thinking
about the sacrifices our soldiers, veterans, and their families make will surely be on our minds.
These holidays are more than barbeques and days off of work, they're times to reflect on the
little things we can do to show our appreciation for what it means to be a soldier, not only at
these times but year around. There are many ways to honor a Veteran but here are a few that can
be done quickly and on a budget.
1. Say Thank You. As simple as that sounds, it's probably is the most profound. Saying thank
you to a service member in and out of uniform is always a noble thing to do. It lets them know
that you care and appreciate what it is they have provided you: your continued security and
freedom.

As we plan our Memorial Day holiday, consider a few simple and inexpensive ways that you and your family can serve the military and their families. Taking a few minutes from a hectic schedule to show appreciation and kindness to someone serving our country will not only bless you, it will also pay tribute to those who have gone before us and made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. We could all use an extra dose of kindness and appreciation these days, wouldn't you agree?
Don't let perfection get in the way of progress. Jump in and try one or more of these suggestions or come up with your own plan!
Volunteering to place flags on grave sites
Growing up, my Dad brought me and my siblings along before Memorial Day to place flags on the graves of servicemen and women. We were instructed that this was a solemn task and no complaining was tolerated. I can remember hot days, cold days, rainy days and bug-infested days. It didn't matter to Dad. He would explain that our servicemen and women endured these conditions and much worse to keep us safe and free. It was a regular family project that left a deep impression on all of us. Contact your local American Legion or VFW organization to volunteer your time.

Memorial Day is here and summer is soon to follow! On Memorial Day this year, many will be barbecuing or attending local events to honor fallen soldiers. Some families use the long weekend as an excuse to take a road trip or fly out of town. If BBQs aren't your thing and you don't want to fork out the money for travel, try one of these low cost activities:
