FORT LEE, Va. — From 1776 to today, America’s strength has always been its people and communities. Here at the commissary, we’re honored to be part of that story by serving those who serve and helping military families stretch their budgets.
During our celebration in recognizing 250 years of freedom, you will find in this Commissary Sales Flyer, June 29 – July 12, varieties of sausages, cheeses, seasonings, spices and ice cream. These items complement grilling products available at substantial savings in our “The Thrill of the Grill” 250 promotion. Don’t miss out on great deals on Eckrich sausage varieties, Nathan’s beef franks, and Kingsford charcoal. Shop both promotions to prepare for your epic summertime get-togethers, family reunions, picnics, barbecues and cookouts.
You’ll need something to stack those hamburgers and hot dogs on. Look for Freedom’s Choice bread, featuring hamburger and hot dog buns, and white and wheat sliced bread at great prices.
During the 250 celebration, CONUS stores are having additional patriotic deals with prices of $2.50 up to four for $17.76. However, The Thrill of the Grill sale items are available at all worldwide commissaries. While local meat selections may vary by region, you can always find the latest offers and updates on our website.
The sales flyer features two great, grill-ready meat and summer produce specials that will make your back yard feast a big hit. USDA Choice Beef Flanken Style Ribs are great for the 4th of July grill at $9.79 per pound. Also available for those busy nights – Assorted Pork Chops Family Pack at $2.49 per pound.
Nothing says summer quite like fresh corn on the cob, and you can find it on sale at your commissary for 33 cents each. Corn on the cob can be grilled for a smokey char without much work. Pre-heat grill to medium-high. Brush shucked corn lightly with oil or butter. Grill 10-15 minutes, turning every few minutes until lightly charred. Season with butter, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, chili powder or garlic powder.
Watermelon is on sale for $4.67 each, a summertime favorite. Its soft, crisp texture makes it easy to eat. The classic way to serve watermelon is the easiest – carve it up and pass around slices. Watermelon can also make an appearance in salads (with feta, cucumber, mint), drinks (agua fresca, smoothies, slushies), frozen treats (popsicles, sorbet), and even grilled or in salsa.
