On Base!

We all want to get on a military base for access to cheap American products.  It took me three years, but I finally made it this week.  I didn't have permission to get into the commissary, but the awesome lady I was with asked the pass-checker-lady for a reprieve and I got through!  Unfortunately I didn't have a big backpack along on the trip, so I had to be conscious of weight (which is why there aren't ten jars of natural peanut butter there).

Awesome! You can get Oregon Tillamook cheese on base? Out of curiosity, what did the 2# loaf cost you? Now I'll have to send you some good rum recipes!!!

I think it was $7.99? But it's also the extra sharp kind, which is always a dollar or two more than the regular.

If you work at US military base as a volunteer once a week,you may access to a base commissary.Volunteer work like ,work for a sunday school at a church,etc.Kadena air base has a second largest US base exchange in the world.

I can't work on base because I live on a small island too far away! So I have to have friends who have access..
