Our Value Story

It makes sense to shop your Exchange!

Everyday competitive pricing, sales tax relief and interest rate avoidance save Soldiers and Airmen money every year. Beyond adding money to authorized patrons' bottom line, shopping improves quality-of-life when the Army and Air Force Exchange Service sets up shop as roughly two-thirds of the Exchange's earning are paid to morale, welfare and recreation programs.

Last year, Exchange operations generated $248.7 million on behalf of programs such as youth services, Armed Forces Recreation Centers, arts and crafts, aquatic centers, golf courses and more.

Market Basket Survey Results

The Exchange Market Basket Survey was conducted in October 2011 at nine locations in the United States. A Market Basket Survey is a snapshot in time. The Retail Industry conducts similar surveys as an industry best practice to remain competitive. In addition to the national survey, each major Exchange location conducts local price surveys monthly to ensure Exchange pricing is consistently competitive.

This year's Market Basket Survey conducted by an independent research firm proves that the Army and Air Force Exchange Service saves you money over national retail competitors.

The areas surveyed include:

Baltimore, Maryland; Ft. Walton Beach, Florida; Killeen, Texas; Omaha, Nebraska; Tacoma, Washington; Phoenix, Arizona; Hampton/Newport News, Virginia; Honolulu, Hawaii; Los Angeles, California.
