For several years, Navy and Marine Corps Exchanges have offered $1 deals on necessary school supplies based on school lists in their regions. In addition, kids clothes are cut as much as 50% for back-to-school and sales continue through Labor Day. Levis, underwear, school supplies, all sold at bargain basement prices, according to the Navy Exchange.
Back-to-school sales are a major source of funding for the Exchange system, accounting for more than 30 percent of the business for the year.
In addition, the Navy & Marine Corps Exchanges work with the Navy-Marines Corps Relief Society, operating thrifts shops at several bases that enable service members and their families to purchase used clothing and other school items at minimal cost. Recently, the Navy Exchange Service Command hired an independent research firm to conduct a survey on how much customers save when they shop at their NEX. The group shopped for 400 products in various departments including audio, clothing, shoes, cosmetics, greeting cards, hardware, appliances, sunglasses, and toys. The results showed that customers save an average of 23%, plus NO sales tax.
