Commissaries to start selling single-use paper and plastic bags on April 6

By Courtesy Story Defense Commissary Agency

Starting April 6, commissaries will start charging a nominal price for each single-use paper or plastic bag. Cost associated with this change is 5 cents for plastic and 10 cents for paper single-use bags.

This change will allow the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) to continue to offer its eligible patrons significant savings while strengthening its fiscal stewardship and reducing operating expenses.

Patrons submitting Commissary CLICK2GO® curbside or delivery orders will be given the option to purchase bags when checking out.

DeCA also encourages patrons to bring their own bags from home or purchase reusable bags from in-store or Commissary CLICK2GO® assortments. For more information, please visit https://shop.commissaries.com/bags
