Thanks to a public relations push, both stateside and overseas commissaries will soon start handing out one free, reusable bag to each shopper. The bag distribution is set to start in stores on Oct. 28. About 4,800 cases of the bags were sent over the entire commissary system, but officials didn't know exactly how many bags each store has. Check out Spousebuzz for the rest of the story.
