Military patrons with newborns and toddlers will be able to see significant savings on food, diapers and other essentials from Sept. 8-21 during the Defense Commissary Agency’s (DeCA) first “Operation Baby Sale.”
The event is featured in continental U.S. commissaries, supporting new parents and those starting to build their families, said Navy Command Master Chief Mario S. Rivers, senior enlisted advisor to the DeCA director.
“If you have a newborn or are expecting a child, this is the event for you,” Rivers said. “Our patrons can expect to enjoy extra savings for their baby needs beyond the normal savings our commissaries deliver compared to retailers off the installation.”
“Commissary patrons can expect to save up to 40-percent off of promotional items,” said Rebekah Fine, merchandising specialist for health, beauty and cosmetic categories within the agency’s Sales, Non-Fresh Directorate.
“This inaugural event will provide substantial savings to our service members and their families,” Fine said. “This will allow them to stock up on essentials like baby food, formula, and diapers. They will have the opportunity for coupons, giveaways and sweepstakes as well.”
