Military Commissaries get crazy right about now. It seems everyone, even those who don’t normally use their commissary benefits, head to the store to stock up for Christmas at lower prices. Seriously, it is totally nuts! I almost avoid going, except the prices are just too darn good! I guess I am just like everyone else.<\/p>\n

Anyway- here is my tip to beating the crowds. Shop today or tomorrow. Wednesday is payday and from then on it will be a zoo. After payday comes the weekend, after the weekend comes the week before Christmas…. and all the craziness. We have all heard of (or been in) the lines that wrap around the store two times, right? So avoid the long lines and hit the store today or tomorrow.<\/p>\n

To help you get the most out of your trip I’ll be posting the Commissary coupon match-ups later today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
