FORT LEE, Va. (October 23, 2015) -- Military appreciation and November go together like turkey and gravy as commissaries worldwide feature a lineup of great promotions throughout the month, including high-value coupon booklets for free frozen turkeys.

"November is National Military Family Appreciation Month and more at commissaries," said Tracie Russ, the Defense Commissary Agency's sales director. "We're showing our thanks through commemoration ceremonies that honor our war veterans and also with great values for customers through Veterans Day holiday weekend sales, Black Friday weekend sales and seasonal promotions.

"This year we're offering not only our annual free frozen turkey offer available worldwide via high-value coupon booklets, but also a fresh turkey special at prices sure to please in stateside commissaries," she added.

Patrons can find out more details about turkeys and other discounted items in their commissary by accessing the sales flyer on the "Savings Aisle" of www.commissaries.com.

Throughout November, DeCA's industry partners -- vendors, suppliers and brokers -- are collaborating with stores to offer discounts beyond everyday savings. Overseas stores may have substitute events for certain promotional programs. Customers are asked to check their local commissary for details on dates and times for the following promotions:

• The Fifth Annual "Get Your Turkey Free -- When You Buy Holiday Favorites! This worldwide promotion features a 16-page recipe booklet with coupons valued at more than $38.

Vendors include Kraft Foods, Kellogg's, Campbell's, Pepperidge Farms, Frito Lay, General Mills, Hefty/Reynolds Wrap, Fresh Express, Nabisco, Proctor & Gamble, Heinz and Johnsonville. Look for these recipe/coupon booklets in your local commissary beginning Nov.1, with coupons good through Dec. 21.
