I've never of these kind of places before, are they exclusively for active military and/or their family members? Also, is there more than one around country? I assume the prices would be better at a place like this than a regular market.
Well, you got blueberries, brown lentils, strawberries, kiwis, raspberries, these things are all exotic fruits and foods to me. Strawberries are starting to be more common in Cambodia, and folks are learning they can grow them in higher altitudes here. Oh, almost forgot my (one day late) #marketfriday post.....
I have shown them off before, so I apologize for not going more into detail. I know there are new people and I should, but, don't want people tiring of the same thing. :)
They are military facilities and used by active duty and/or family members. Since 9/11 they have added Guard/Reserve in some capacity. I have five large ones and two smaller ones around the area (Washington, DC metro area) They are attached to a military base/fort and they are all over the US and the military installations all over the world. I know of Ream in Cambodia, and I believe there are three more. Overseas they are better priced than here in the US. They are much like the neighborhood grocery store. At times, I live on base, but, mostly get a house on the economy.
There are 240 Commissaries, but, before the big drawdown, many more.
The fruits are exotic to you, but, the normal fare here. The same for your fruit! :) There are quite a few fruits that grow and adapt, I always find that interesting. I have kiwi vine here and fig trees. Also a Pomegranate! I was surprised that it grew here! I think many adapt that would not normally grow.
Thank you for supporting the challenge and dropping your link! I hope both you and the family are all doing well!
#MarketFriday loves you!
