Commissary Savings Surcharge Your Everyday Savings (YES!) The YES! campaign includes an assortment of items throughout the store. YES! items can be identified by an orange YES!

19 Commissary Savings Surcharge Your Everyday Savings (YES!) The YES! campaign includes an assortment of items throughout the store. YES! items can be identified by an orange YES! label beneath the price for that item. While you may find off-base grocers with lower prices at times (e.g.,on promotion), we are setting prices so that over the course of a year we will offer savings over what can be found in the market. Why does DeCA make me pay surcharge on my Commissary purchases? Surcharge is applied to the total value of each commissary purchase because Congress has mandated collection of surcharge (currently 5%) to pay for commissary construction, equipment and maintenance. 18
