And while officials contend the taxpayer subsidy can be reduced without affecting customers&#8217; bottom-line savings, the National Military Family Association says it remains &#8220;skeptical that the Defense Commissary Agency has the expertise to implement these changes while still preserving the savings military families rely on.&#8221;\u00a0 <br\/> <br\/>Pilot programs expected to start at the end of January or in early February will use two approaches: one focused on grocery item categories, the other on store locations.\u00a0 <br\/> <br\/>Officials are negotiating with suppliers to lower prices on about 8,000 items that the commissaries, in turn, will mark up, using the additional revenue to pay for operating costs.  <br\/> <br\/>Additionally, officials will adjust prices on about 1,000 items across about 10 test stores, lowering prices on goods that commercial stores market aggressively: bananas, for example, milk, detergent and soda. The aim is to be more competitive with prices military consumers may find off base, raising prices on other items that have traditionally offered a bigger savings than those found in commercial stores. Again, the difference would go toward offsetting operations costs.\u00a0 <div> <br\/> <\/div> <div>  Beginning in May, the commissary agency also will start offering its own private label products, sometimes called generics, comprising an initial assortment of about 400 products.  <br\/> <\/div> <div> <br\/> <\/div> <div>  Meanwhile, defense officials have been exploring other expense-reduction ideas, including a plan to privatize all or part of the commissary system.  <br\/> <\/div> <br\/> <i>Karen Jowers covers military families, quality of life and consumer issues for Military Times.
