As far as commissaries this one just rocks! If you cannot find it here not sure it exists. Let me rephrase the previous thought...if they have it in stock you will find it. The inventory system seems to be hit or miss and sometimes items will be out of stock for months and then suddenly appear again. Good areas are wide open aisles and produce as fresh as a regular grocery on the economy. Also things turn over so quickly that expired products or freezer burnt items are never an issue. Prices are definitely better for general household cleaners, boxed or canned food and fresh meat. However produce and speciality type items are generally just a few cents cheaper but rarely is anything more expensive than on the economy. It has downfalls for sure. Just too big some days to contemplate getting down all the aisles I need to go down. This is a new commissary and considering how quickly some of freezers, bathrooms and cases have deteriorated means this build was cheaped out tremendously. The biggest area of common complaint and one that drives all of us shoppers batty is why they have taken the main aisle in front of the cashiers and cluttered it up with displays of seasonal candies etc. YOU CANNOT MOVE if busy and shoppers banging into each other and throwing out killer glares left and right. If you have 2 carts, and often I do, I am driving one of them into these displays while I try to avoid oncoming carts. Also there is no cart parking so people abandon their first cart somewhere in this aisle too. Just a nightmare some days! Despite the downfalls I use this as a way to save some dollars over buying everything on the economy. Have an idea what you want before coming in though because you can lose alot of time wandering thru this...

Read moreBrand new large commissary, clean and nice-looking, no complaints there. However the management continues to provide unsatisfactory service - the shelves are never fully stocked - Fort Belvoir commissary is my primary grocery store, and in the past almost 4 years of shopping there (in the old store and now in the new one), I've never been able to get everything on my shopping list. Mind you, my list doesn't include anything unusual, just regular grocery and household items that commissary usually carries. I am not sure where the problem lies - the management not ordering products on time, or staff not restocking in timely matter? Cashiers and baggers are usually very friendly, however folks at customer service where you return items don't have the most warm and fuzzy attitude. Another problem is the quality of fruit and veggies - you really have to dig and hand pick everything. Its worse with berries and leafy salads, you pretty much have to consume them either on same day or next, as you probably will end up throwing everything away if you don't. In fairness, I haven't experienced this problem as of late, and I don't know if it's related to colder temps and produce not spoiling/rotting in transit. The welcome improvement with the construction of the new, larger store was expanded organic section, and I appreciate that. Overall it's a good store, but be prepared to go to another store to buy items that weren't stocked, and for better quality...
