[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3707111, member: 45773"] The big advantage price-wise is you won't pay sales tax. Generally the prices at the BX aren't really that competitive on most things...until sales tax is figured in. If you're buying a $5 item it probably doesn't matter. But when you're talking about a gun that might be $1k, it makes a big difference. They do have regular sales on guns...like 10% a particular brand...thruout the year. I don't find the commissary to be any less expensive than WalMart on groceries. They generally carry only name brands, tho there is a store brand available now for certain things called "Freedom's Choice". I buy the K-cup coffee...$19.98 for 80 K-cups. Not too bad and it's pretty good coffee. You don't pay sales tax on groceries at the commissary but you will pay a 5% surcharge on everything. It's a surcharge used to maintain facilities and build new ones. The BX and commissary at Altus get very little traffic and are NEVER crowded since it's such a small installation. Even the BX at Ft Sill is rarely crowded. I haven't been in the Ft Sill commissary. [/QUOTE]
