Back-to-School Sidewalk Sales
Class is in session! Well, almost, at least… school will start soon for children and college students alike, if it hasn’t already, and Your Commissary wants to help you prepare!
So find your desk, because it’s time to study for our 2019 Back-to-School Sidewalk Sales! (Don’t worry — we promise we’re not grading you — just rewarding you with great savings!)
What is a Back-to-School Sidewalk Sale?
This sales event offers products for sale in case lot formats, like those found in commercial club stores, and “mix-and-match” packages of similar products in bulk-size cases — and it’s kicking off now!
What products will be available?
These sidewalk sales will focus on the products you need to start your student’s school year off right by fixing family breakfasts, fresh-packed school lunches and after-school snacks for children.
“If you need to save money on items for school lunches or after-school snacks, you cannot afford to miss these sidewalk sales. These events are like experiencing a warehouse club store right outside the commissary.”
–CSM Tomeka O’Neal, Senior Enlisted Advisor to DeCA’s Director
This could include extra savings on cases of products like breakfast cereals, bottled water and more!
“Shopping your commissary is always a good deal, but the opportunities to save more during commissary sidewalk sales make a good deal even better.”
-CSM O’Neal
