Would you rather be shopping at your commissary online right now?
The Defense Commissary Agency is examining possibilities for expanding the offerings in its virtual commissary, and wants to know if you’re interested in doing more commissary shopping online.
Through mid-July, DeCA officials are conducting a short, three-question survey asking if you would use online grocery shopping if the commissary agency offered it, how often you would use it, and what sorts of things you would buy — canned foods, paper products, household cleaning supplies, pet food, vitamins, cold cereals, etc. The goods would be sold at commissary prices — an average 30 percent savings over off-base retail supermarkets — with a small delivery fee added to the charge.
The current virtual commissary selection is limited to gift baskets, also sold at DeCA prices with a shipping fee.
