If it is anything like our Navy Exchange the cheapest items are shoe polish and shoe laces. $200 Vera Wang Wallets, even more expensive purses, Polo, Dockers, Baby car seats over $300. THINK MACY’s, or other high end price places. Only thing you save is Sales Tax. Unless you can find it on the Mark down racks with a scratch off card. Does not include booze of Cigs. A 24 pack of Milwaukee Best Light is about $14. Strong stuff like Jack is $30 or more. Even snacks are more expensive than Commissary.

That’s my problem with exchanges, I guess the prices are cheaper but everything they sell is so top end I still can’t afford it.

If you find it cheaper elsewhere -tell/show the cashier- the exchanges match prices; including from the Internet.

It's a pain in the ass grocery shopping, but for higher priced items it's well worth it b/c you save the sales tax.
