Preparing those grills for the 4th of July Independence Day celebration is made easy through the Defense Commissary Agency’s (DeCA) Savvy Shopper Sales Flyer for July 3-16, offering customers opportunities to save even more by purchasing essential grilling items on sale.

This year’s Feds Feed Families campaign runs from June 26 through Sept. 29, and is the fourth year the Department of Defense has designated the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) to lead its effort. “We’re excited to launch this year’s campaign,” said Doug Nomura, chief of DeCA’s Logistics and Sustainment Division. “We are fortunate to receive great support across the Department of Defense and from our commissary shoppers.”

When the modern-day commissary benefit began on July 1, 1867, it expanded shopping privileges at commissary subsistence stores to enlisted men. The benefit had previously only been available for officers since 1825.
Fast forward 156 years and the commissary benefit has indeed evolved. What were subsistence stores in abandoned warehouses and horse stables, where the customers had to hand their shopping list to a clerk, have become a modern, fully equipped stores under the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) offering online ordering and pickup with Commissary CLICK2GO.
