Hi friendsss! 🙂 Today we’re going grocery shopping in Italy and doing a little price comparison between shopping on base at the commissary and shopping off base on the enconomy. Which do you think will be cheaper? I would love to do this type of video again however next time maybe buying the exact same items and do a price/size comparison, see which one you get the most bang for your buck! Let me know what you think! 🙂
Thank you guys so much for watchings todays video!! 🙂

Hey Brittany! Thank you for posting again! I enjoy your videos, they’ve helped me so much! Especially since my boyfriend and I are just beginning the military life!
commenting as I go <3
I am tripping out with how you have to weigh and label your veggies/fruits and bread.
so interesting how cheddar cheese isn't common in Italy. also the scanning your receipt when you leave the store is so insane to me lol. Def a super in detailed video and I'm sure it's going to be so helpful for people moving there. Also good to know just in general! Can't wait for your next video! <3
I actually just pcs’d to Aviano so this pretty useful 😂 😅
Your channel has been so helpful. My husband and I PCS to Aviano next month!
i loooove getting fruit off base, yes it spoils faster BUT it tastes SO MUCH BETTER. and honestly, i don’t buy ice cream on base anymore either because i can get a giant thing of gelato at aldi for like €2 and again, it’s not a fancy flavor but it’s tastes much better to me! 😂
Pretty similar in France (carts, bags for veggies, for the checkout sometimes you have to scan the ticket too). But for example when you scan items by yourself the ticket go out at the end. As I went to Italy a few time i wasn't so lost about it ahah.
So cool to see how in every country everything is different, except in Europe where it's practically the same in a lot of countries.
So excited to see your next video! can't wait for you to visit Europe and maybe come to south of France, hopefully I can see you soon.
Have an awesome day, bye 🙂
Omg when I studied abroad in Rome in 2018 the Maschio brand Pinot Rosa was our favorite!! So cheap and good lol love your video
perchè un supermercato italiano dovrebbe avere un grande assortimento di cibi messicani ? C'è una legge della domanda offerta, se poche persone comprano il cibo deve essere buttato ? già c'è un enorme scarto di prodotti in generale e se un supermercato italiano dovesse tenere tutte le specialità del mondo, non richieste, come minimo chiude dopo pochi giorni per fallimento
I like that you shared your grocery experience on the economy and what they offer compared to the commissary. When we were stationed overseas in England and Germany we would do the same thing.
Can you purchase those bags and bring them With you?
Also I love how they w with and as a price
This Video was really helpful
Wow girl…. You are in the land of NO OMG! You should be buying everything you can off base!
Eggs do NOT need to be refrigerated. You will find 4 kinds. Your typical farmed chickens that live in the cage all their life. The kind that live on a warehouse floor and the kind that you would call free-range. In any case no ogm.
Really enjoyed watching this video Brittany. I was really surprised that meats, cream cheese and a few other things are actually cheaper off base than at the Aviano commissary! I’m assuming here (bad to do, I know) that the Aviano AB commissary and BX are operated by the AAFES. I would think that the US DOD, via AAFES, would help “subsidise” the cost of groceries for US military personnel stationed overseas, but maybe not. You showed the haul from the commissary that cost $57!!! That’s a lot of money, considering there wasn’t any meat in there. Also, Wal Mart needs to install those receipt scanners near the exit doors so they don’t need someone to visually inspect *every single receipt * as we leave the store. LOL. Hope you and your husband are enjoying your assignment at Aviano. Sorry for rambling.
Forgot to ask you a question about life on Aviano AB. Do the F16 (?) jets occasionally takeoff at, say, 2, 3 or 4 am in full afterburner when they are participating in some military exercise? And are the on-base quarters soundproofed to some extent for just that reason? Hope all is well.
