Want to also go over to Patrick AFB but have not done so, its a bit further I think. I'm not so sure about nothing beating commissary prices, but there are certain items that still fall in that category. After shopping only commissaries for 49 years it is good to get used to a real hnest to goodness grocery store. We like the one at MacDill which was no doubt built with the retired population in mind.
There is a pretty good sized Navy Exchange (NEX) located just before the Orlando Airport. Take the Conway exit just before the airport exit off the Beach Line. As you drive down the off ramp, take a right turn and travel less than 1 mile, it will be on the right. Has a good PX, Grocery and Liqour Store.
