Store Director’s Scoop

First and foremost I would like

to thank each of you who

supported the Special Olympics

promotion with added purchases

of your favorite products. Your

cooperation not only saved you

dollars in your household

budget, but helped generate

significant dollars for the local

Junction City Special Olympics

charter, the Junction City

Pacesetters.

4. Did you know our store has its

own pages on the commissary

website: Please visit us at

http://www.commissaries.com

find us under the “Locations”

tab. There is also local store

information on this site that can

help you navigate the store or

create a shopping list by aisle.

Come look at your local

commissary today for all your

Valentine needs. We have

fantastic plants and loads of

candy selections for your loved

ones to enjoy. Maybe they will

even share with you on that

wonderful day.

Please note we will be closing

early on Washington’s Birthday

at 5:00 PM, February 17, 2014.

Some call it President’s day, but

if we recall the actual bill making

it a Federal Holiday, it is

Washington’s Day.

5. Want a Deli item but don’t want

to stand and wait for it? Now you

can stop by at the beginning of

your commissary visit and fill out

a special order slip. Once your

order is placed, the Deli will get

it ready and let you know when it

is available for pick-up (in most

cases even before you finish

shopping).

Who’s afraid of cooking from scratch when it’s “Valentine’s Day Brownies”?

Put your “real chef” apron on and prepare to mix flour with two types of chocolate,

eggs and sugar for brownies with a crackly top that literally melts in your mouth. Kay

says, “They’re worth every bit of effort it takes to make them for your sweetheart on

Valentine’s Day, or any other day of the year.” Check the recipe.
