I am so irritated! I went to the commissary twice today once this morning with both boys and then again after Shawn got home without the boys. The first visit got me halfway through the store before my cart was too full to keep going. (we literally had no food in the house). Caleb was very impatient in the store and kept running down to the end of each isle yelling back at me,"Let's go mom!". It's so easy to keep your mind on the task at hand when you're 2 year old is giving out commands (NOT!!!). So, I decided I'd go back when Shawn got home from work. When I went back, the shelves were empty....there was no lemon juice, no light brown sugar, no half and half, no bagels, no madarine oranges, no chunky applesauce, (and these were the items on my list, who knows what else they were sold out of). It's so irritating!!! There's no Kroger or Super Walmart across the street to supplement the sold out of items at the commissary. UGH!!!!! This happens so often. Last week, there was not one pack of size 2 diapers on this base. I had to buy Riley size 3, which are way too big. Ususally it's milk or bread that is sold out. There is a sign above the bread that reads, "no more than 5 bread items per family". CRAZY!!!!
Okay, I guess I'm done complaining. I'll just have to try again later this coming week to get my shopping list items.
No, I lied. I have one more thing to complain about. My hairdresser is moving to San Diego!!!! I don't know what I'm going to do now!!
Okay, now I''m done...

Man, how frustrating. Those are simple things left on your list, as well. Wouldn't seem to be things they would run out of.
I know how it is to shop with cranky, impatient kids! I was so happy when school started and now I go with only Landon, and once in a while with Spence and Lanny. Soooo much nicer to have only one kid strapped in!!I try to do all my errands when Spencer is in school. So much better!!
Good luck with the commissary....and finding a new hairdresser!
We have the exact same problem! The milk and bread are definitely the worst. but even when those items are here they are often not good. I've bought milk taht was bad and bread that was stale. All of the goods at teh commissary are frozen and shipped from germany. they have no trade agreement to buy local products here in england. Frustrating! I so can empathize!
I can relate...here on the army base we have a tiny commissary on our post I have to ride an hour to another barracks to the "big" commissary....sometimes I have to ride 2 hours and go to 3 commissaries to get maybe 1/2 of what is on my list....... and NONE of the commissaries near me have a milk larger than a 1/2 gal..... so here I am 4 kids buying like 6 1/2 gal cartons every 2 days......I can't get yogurt at any of my commissaries..... and that is a loose term the "big" commissary has 4 asiles.....the one on my barracks has 2....... I miss the air force bases....
