COLUMBUS AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. --  With nearly 100 items recently added to the Commissary Value Brand program, military patrons will have even more opportunities to save, said Chief Master Sgt. Stuart Allison, the Defense Commissary Agency's senior enlisted advisor to the director.

"We recommend that patrons continue to monitor the orange 'Value' signs in the stores because they will see a larger offering of products," Allison said.

Since the middle of February, new products added to the program include several cheeses, condiments, canned and powdered milk, canned soup, dry pasta, honey, rice, laundry bleach and paper towels.

With the influx of new items, the Value Brand mix will boast nearly 400 products such as frozen vegetables, pizza and entrees; pet foods; health and beauty care; cereals; cleaning supplies; soft drinks; coffee; canned fruit, soup and fish; disposable lunch and storage bags; condiments and more.

The average savings for Value Brand is about 42 percent when compared to national brands and 25 percent against the store brand and private label items found in commercial retail stores. Patrons looking for these items will see orange "Value" tags. A list of items, FAQs and a video of the program are available at http://www.commissaries.com/shopping/value-brand.cfm.
