Those looking for hot deals in July such as Farmers Markets only have to venture as far as their commissary for discounts, giveaways and other promotions. “Commissaries have planned outdoor activities this summer to include the ever-popular Farmers Markets as well
as pet promotions and festivals continuing every weekend at select locations,” said Chris Burns, the agency’s sales director. “Whether getting ready to grill or just looking for greater savings, we want our customers to know their commissary benefit is here for them.”
Check your local commissary for details. Overseas stores may have substitute events for certain promotional programs. Here’s the rest of the story with a list of promotions. Here’s the list of Farmers Markets dates.
Think commissary for disaster preparedness This year marks the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Andrew, which slammed into South Florida and devastated Homestead, Florida City and parts of Miami before it crossed the Gulf of Mexico to strike the Louisiana coastline. It’s a sober reminder that your commissary wants to help make sure you are prepared for any disaster. “Andrew’s anniversary drives home the point that everyone should be
prepared,” said Chris Burns, DeCA’s director of sales. “Your commissary can help you do that. We’ve got lots of items to stock up your survival kit.” Since April 1, canned chicken, powdered milk, batteries, weather-ready flashlights, all-weather tape, first aid kits, lighters, matches, candles and hand sanitizer have been reduced in price as part of DeCA’s severe weather promotional package that runs until Oct. 31. The package
coincides with the prime times for both tornado and hurricane seasons in the United States. “All of our customers – no matter where they are – should be prepared for any disaster, and the commissary can help,” Burns said.
