Davis Monthan Commissary

This 5 stars mainly applies to the deli. They have foot-​long sub sandwiches you can get with 2 meats and your choice of veggies for under 8 bucks. They advertise 12″ but in reality it’s much bigger, so to speak. Enough for 2 meals, actually.

This place is good but the produce here sucks! Do not buy your produce from here. It is not fresh. Everything else is pretty good and sometimes you have those items that are a little overpriced but overall it’s a pretty good store. I come here for majority of my groceries needed.

This Commisary is well organized, a lot bigger than what we had at our previous base, and has almost all the Asian ingredients that I need to prepare meals.
Their staff is really friendly and knowledgable especially when you’re looking for an item.
They also have a bakery/​deli section and did I mention the sushi counter? Yup!
My only gripe is that they do hike up some of their prices on the 1^st and 15^th.
Also, don’t forget to tip your bagger! :)

Its a good place for military and their family to get their groceries, but sometimes their prices can be little stiff compared to other stores. Checkouts are organized that you get there in and out in no time. There are times when produce and meats are sometimes lacking so you couldn’t get the things you needed. Anyway, it’s still a great place to get your groceries and save some moolah!

I love the commissary, grew up in a military family and it’s a staple of any military member. The prices are great, but I’ve noticed that every year, the off base stores are becoming more and more comparable and in most instances, they destroy the prices. I wish the commissary would get with the times and invoke a club card and get online to send out messages about deals and provide virtual coupons that you can carry in your phone.
The case lot sales are good but beware the crowd… ugh…the retirees swarm that place like a slow moving zombie horde on case lot and payday.
You’ve been warned.

While the commissary is only for military related individuals, it is great for low prices and great service. I must say that after two years of price comparison with local stores, using coupons, and buying regularly that the commissary has most places beat. That is granting them the fact that some places like Walgreen’s and Wall-​mart neighborhood markets have occasional sales that make things like milk and eggs more affordable than the commissary. It is made even better by the fact that I do believe they do price matching for advertised prices, and accept all kinds of manufacturers coupons. So while you may not be able to double up on coupons from the store as well as manufacturers coupons, you don’t need to because their regular prices are already better than any store around.
The only draw back I can find to comment about is that sometimes on payday the wait to get food can be very long, and the née to tip the baggers, can sometimes be a little bothersome, but I would say that if you are saving 10−20% then it is not a big deal to give a bagger who will bag all your food and take it out to your car 5 – 10 bucks.
So this place recieves a 5 from me because it is exactly what the military family needs to be healthy, and affordable when it comes to making food.
