I love that they’re cheaper than most stores & most of the time it’s clean. Customer service is always great. But, the produce here are AWFUL. Most of the time they’re moldy or go bad quickly. Also, since COVID hit…they’re always out of some or most items resulting in me making extra trips off base to other stores.

Nice large commissary with great produce, fresh seafood, cold cut deli, and meats. The selection of things like whole brisket and pork bellies is better than most stores in the lower 48.

This is one of my main go to for shopping. It is a little out of the way for me but still worth it for the prices. Like 70%-80% of the item are cheaper than other stores. I would say it is mostly produce that costs more. Overall cheaper. Avoid the busy times if you can. And dont forget to tip your bagger, they work for tips.

I gave a 5 Star rating only for the convenience of the Commissary. As for the Prices, they are easily beaten by other local retailers and Vendors. I would expect better prices to, Thank those who have committed their lives to the USA.Not given to people who say one thing and abide by their own Profits as a means of appreciation!

If you love in Alaska and can get groceries at the commissary, do it! Always saving. But the produce doesnt last as long as Fred Meyer. Meats and other items best at commissary

Employees helpful & courteous. Bagging folks were very helpful & kind. Stock was in excellent condition & being attended to in a very professional manner. I like going to the commissary. Thank you for helping us. Tom Webster.

If you compare the JBER commissary to any grocery store in Anchorage theyre the worst and its not even close. The selection is so limited, the produce is awful and constantly reorganized, the stocking of the entire store is a train wreck. If it wasnt for the prices (generally) it would go out of business. Its a Government run train wreck that will never change.

This is your standard military commissary. The sushi in the deli is just slightly better than I expected. The employees are friendly and helpful.

Lots of options, decent pricing, deli meats are cheaper than fredmeyer. A lot of sugar free bakery goods and in the freezer section I notice a lot of vegan processed food options. Kind of annoying that you have to have your military ID to go shopping though.

Staff is friendly and helpful. Especially in the produce section, there are always cheerful greetings. If I need help picking good produce, the produce staff is always willing to share their expertise.The aisles are easy to follow and the product on the shelf is actually what is on the label. The meat department never treats you like an inconvenience when you need help with cuts of meat or request cryo packs.

Review №19

Prices are up and down and all over the place, good in some areas and crazy in others. For example, milk was way more expensive here than at Target, but somehow some of the produce and sushi are actually a little cheaper than stateside. We had to watch ourselves a couple of times to not get crazy and buy what seemed like a good deal and shop elsewhere for the rest.We didnt see any issues with lack of inventory, but we may have caught it on a good day. Overall, a big Commissary with a pretty good selection (all things considered), and was your typical experience.

Went to Walmart the day before yesterday to buy an onion. When I went to the commissary yesterday, the prices on onions were substantially higher than Walmart. Overall, I appreciate the commissary benefit, but I really think someone needs to look at the prices and make some adjustments.

Review №24

Lately theyve been out of quite a bit of things. Prices are pretty remarkable. And the missing inventory does seem to be improving slightly over the last month. But you never know if youll be able to get your entire shopping list or not.A positive is the staff is pretty nice. And the produce guys always seemed to be genuinely pumped up to help you out. I mean with a contagious energetic way.. Like, I dont really exercise.. But those guys in produce really put people in a good mood, and I find myself wanting to go for a run after seeing them. I mean, I dont actually run, but I do consider it. Lol.

Its a good place but very slow service. They need more cashiers in the front its too slow. But all in all its a friendly place to shop.

Review №26

The people are general nice and very personable. However, you have to be careful shopping here because the prices on, roughly 85-90% of items are HIGHER here than at the local chain stores! The availability of selections are not that great either. Half of the time shelves are bare in the meat dept, eggs, packaged meat such as bacon and lunch meat. Milk is over $5 a gallon! I can go to Sam’s Club and get a gallon for $3! Seeing how the military has JBER as an “Overseas” base, it’s pretty sad.

Manager was rude! We tried to enter self checkout and she told us we had more than 40 items... we had 32. Her facial expressions and tone were completely unnecessary. Prices are ok so well be back, but next time, she can count the items. Other employees were super polite and friendly.

Review №35

First off, I love the Commissary, but this Commissary is the worst at keeping the shelves stocked. I have been to Commissaries all over the world, and never seen one run out of stuff the way this one does. Also, I dont understand how some of the off base grocery stores can regularly beat their prices on every day items.In the end, Ill still come back here, as the meat prices are the best, but Ill probably continue to be disappointed unless the management figures out how to do a better job of keeping the shelves stocked.

Review №40

As far as commissaries go this one is pretty nice. Theres a couple problems with it tho. For some reason some reason some items are insanely over priced. For example, a veggie tray will cost you close to $20 but if you go off base you will find the same test for $7 - $10. Theyre meat prices are pretty good, i will admit.

Ro
Review №41

The military commissaries are, in general, awful. They are overcrowded, the hours are too short, the prices arent any better (and often are higher), staff are usually rude and unhelpful, and the produce is the worst youll find anywhere. In other words, like anything else run by the government. Their only saving grace is their vicinity to base housing. They get 2 stars across the board.That said, I gave the JBER commissary 3 stars because its the least awful one Ive been to.

Review №46

While some of the staff members are very friendly, the produce here is absolutely horrible a lot of the time. Specifically the strawberries, blueberries, and baby tomatoes are consistently moldy when you buy them. The avocados are either frozen or too ripe to pleasantly eat. The shelved goods are frequently expired as well.

Good deals on canned veggies and fruit, but missing items... ongoing issue with Quaker Rice Cracked. Fruit juices are above market price and meats went up a bit since last visit. Still a great place for deals, even if it is AAFEES.

Probably one of the better places for meat prices. If you miss some things from overseas assignments then they have got you covered. Other then meat, their prices are pretty comparable to the local area.

I like this commissary and I think it is one of the bigger ones Ive been to. It has alot of good international selections. I do feel that alot of their dairy and produce have lot alot of their shelf life before you buy them. The milk and eggs typically expire within the week and they are more expensive than any where off base. The people that work here are typically very nice though and they are helpful on the sales floor.
