Commissaries are ready to meet the demands of your hungry Thanksgiving crowd, with sales on everything from fresh turkeys to stuffing and cranberry sauce.
And this year, shoppers get a bonus: Stateside commissaries are staging their own first-ever Black Friday weekend sales, Nov. 27-29. Commissaries in Alaska and Hawaii are participating, but will have fewer items on sale than stateside stores.
Stateside commissaries began offering their low-priced fresh turkeys Tuesday. But now they also have specials on cranberry sauce, stuffing, dinner rolls, biscuits, cheese, pie crusts, flour, coconut, canned cream soups and even paper towels.
You get the Thanksgiving picture.
Authorized shoppers can check out the items and the prices at commissaries.com. Look for the “Sales & Events” page, which will take you to the fliers with the prices.
As for the Black Friday sales Nov. 27-29, some of the items found on the sales flier include: 17-ounce Cheerios at 42 percent off regular commissary price; Goodsense ibuprofen, 500 200-mg tablets at 48 percent off regular commissary price; and 12 rolls of Scott tissue at 33 percent off regular commissary price.
Among the items expected to be discounted are certain health and beauty products, coffee, tea, candy, nuts, juices, pet food, noodles, lunch meat, mayonnaise, energy drinks, and paper products.
Items are available while quantities last.
As always, commissaries are closed Thanksgiving Day. Some stores normally are closed Mondays, but commissary officials said all stateside stores will be open Nov. 23, the Monday before Thanksgiving, as well as Nov. 27, Black Friday, except for the following locations:
- Closed the Monday before Thanksgiving: Harrison Village (Indianapolis), Indiana; U.S. Coast Guard Station Kodiak, Alaska.
