Grocery shopping is not fun these days. The cost of everything seems to have gone up, and what used to be affordable now feels high-priced. As military families, we do have choices. We can shop at the Commissary, which gives us an average of 22% savings over regular grocery stores, with plans to raise that to 25%. However, the Commissary isn’t always the easiest place to shop.
For us, it takes anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes to get to the Commissary. We like to go a few times a month, but Kroger is much easier to shop at regularly. Luckily, there is a way to save money there as well, at least in the Fort Campbell area.
Kroger in Clarksville, TN, and Hopkinsville, KY, offer a 10% military discount on Wednesdays. This discount is available to active-duty military personnel, retired military personnel, National Guard members, and reserve personnel, as well as their dependents. You just need to show your military ID. They might even ask you about it if you shop there on a Wednesday.
