First of all, I must say that this is a restricted facility, and you must have a military identification card to shop here. It is not open to the public. I recently heard that they were allowing veterans to shop here if you have a card from the VA (which I do), but when I tried to enter, they checked my card and told me the new policy was only for service-connected disabled veterans (which I am not (although I should be, but that is a different story for a different day)). My elderly mother has a card to shop here, because my father retired from the Coast Guard (he is deceased now). Thankfully, I was allowed in to accompany and help my mom shop (she hasn't been here since dad passed away a little over a year ago, because it is hard for her to shop alone). I was surprised at how nice it was inside, and noticed that they had a lot of different products (some I had never seen before). Most of the items have digital price tags which was very cool, and also something that I had never seen anywhere else before. The prices here range from very good, to expensive. You really need to do your homework here, because not everything is a bargain. I have seen better prices at Aldi and Trader Joe's on a lot of the items here, but then again, some of the prices here beat both of those places. Luckily, my mom knows her prices, so she knew exactly which items to buy here, vs. the sale items this week at Shop N Save (her normal grocery store). Sad to say I am unable to shop here (as I said I was told veterans would be allowed in starting in January), but glad they allow me in to help my mom.
P.S. I found it funny that there were a bunch of birds chirping and flying around inside the store here. I was worried that they were gonna poop on me . . . and the groceries . . . watch out!!! read more
