In support of the American Heart

Association’s National Heart Health

Month, your commissary offers

shoppers a myriad of special events

and in-store promotions

highlighting health, nutrition and

great savings.

“Take a look around your

commissary in February and you’ll

find what we call healthy

‘bundling’ promotions,” said Chris

Burns, DeCA sales director.

“Companies are combining their

efforts to offer shoppers even better

savings. An example of this is having

name-brand breakfast cereals

positioned next to fresh fruit.”

Talk with your store director or
