User ID: 1287631 United States 10/04/2013 12:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to spousebuzz.com] According to a corporate spokesperson ALL Sam’s Club locations are now participating in the military waiver program. Active Duty, Retirees and anyone else with commissary privileges — can show their military IDs to Sam’s Club employees at the door where they would usually have to show their Sam’s Club membership. No 10% nonmember fee will be charged. -Everything's more awesome when you lean into it. |

So, Food Lion (or at least they did the last time the commissaries were closed [furlough days]) offered I believe 20% discounts for those with a military ID. SAMS club is offering free membership (basically they are just waiving the fees) to anyone with an active duty military ID. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 46409155 Just to put that out there. That is here on the East Coast, what they are doing elsewhere, I do not know. Interesting. I live on the East Coast and Costco has great prices, but as you know, those "warehouse" type stores sell in bulk. I usually don't need large quantities of anything. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16604126 His administration is going out of its way to make people needlessly suffer during this shutdown. Take the commissaries as an example. Those that shop at the commissary should be familiar with a `surcharge' that is on the bottom of every receipt. What is the surcharge for? To pay for the commissary! He's closing public places that are unmanned and open to the public 24/7. Oh what's that...you want to stop in that rest area and take a picture of that beautiful view? Sorry, the administration has determined that that area should be closed...chain that mother fucker up! How about George Washington's home? Nope, you cannot go there --- even though it does not receive any federal funds (see this thread: Thread: OBAMER attempting to close down GEORGE WASHINGTON HOME (it's privately owned) ). The shitbag in the White House is punishing people because he does not want negotiate on any aspect of his obamacare law. So, what do the republicans want? They want small businesses and individuals to treated fairly, they want a one year delay on the individual mandate (something that large corporations have received), and they want to delay a draconian increase in the medical device tax. It boggles my mind that anyone would be against what the republicans are trying to achieve right now. Even the crazy `I hate big business' liberals should be supporting a one year delay in the individual mandate --- mega corporations get the delay --- but they are so brainwashed and in love with ``the first black president'' that they cannot see through his bs. |

(OP) User ID: 47873994 United States 10/04/2013 12:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank you everyone for supporting this thread. Our military should be exempt from the government shut down. I am embarrassed by our president treating our active duty and retired vets with such disrespect. Obamacare is still open...and the military/civilian services are still closing. Please spread the word. Fox news and MSN should be demanding an answer from president Obama as to why Obama care is open when the government is shut down. Love & Light... |

Think about what the word faction brings to mind. We are a great nation and to have called half our population a "faction" is a complete attack on our senses. We may not agree point to point.....but republicans, democrats and liberty parties are not and will never be "factions". Love & Light... |

[link to 2012thebigpicture.wordpress.com] It is a control tactic to bring as must hurt to the average citizen and especially the military and retirees and although the closure of Commissary and BX, PX facilities does not harm retirees as much as those on active duty trying to raise a family. The military is suffering because CONUS Commissary and BX, PX stores are closed since the communist obama regime cannot close these facilities overseas instead they are stopping sports coverage overseas. Now the Whitehouse communist loons are whoring for your sad stories pertaining to selective targeted shutdowns by the obama communist minions of deceit. I do hope there is an awakening before all the people on foodstamps are impacted by the communist obama tactic of creating a government dependent class as foodstamps are funded by both state and federal funds. If communist obama laughs and pulls funding from foodstamps then the states cannot cover the losses.

I'm sorry, Just seems like another let me scan your card deal. I know that military families are going to have a hard time without the commisary [sp] discounts and for that i am sorry. I just don't understand the mindset of a people that would work for someone that didn't pay them. |

I never buy clothes, shoes, cameras, household items and computers there. I can find much better savings elsewhere. Last Edited by nutmeg on 10/05/2013 11:20 AM |

Costco: BEER Ground Beef Chicken Breasts/Thighs Rice (we eat a lot of rice) Canned Tomatoes(diced/sauce/whatever)/corn/beans Mac-n-Cheese Cheese Paper Towels/Toilet Paper Laundry Detergent/Fabric Softener Toothpaste/Soap/Shampoo/Deodorant/Pads Commissary: Everything else you would need to feed yourselves (side dises, bagels, scalloped potatoes, etc). Pasta is usually cheaper at the commissary. Sausage/Kielbasa is usually cheaper at the commissary. Overall, we only buy some items at Costco and we usually get the rest at the commissary. |

A gallon of skim milk is $2.50, so with a 5% surcharge, a gallon of skim milk is $2.62. Not sure what it is elsewhere. A pound of Kraft shredded sharp cheddar cheese is $3.00.
