I grew up as a USAF dependent. Back then, there was no question, the base was cheaper. That's where we bought just about everything.
Fast forward 50 years. I went to Eglin with a friend of mine and I was shocked. We went in the exchange and the commissary. I am a shopper and I remember prices.
The only deals I saw in the entire place was on meat and a few other things in the commissary.
Other than that, I could easily beat the prices at local stores.
