.FROZEN CRAB LEGS - A fresh shipment of the frozen crab legs (in the shell) have
just been received from Kodiak and are available upon request from the butcher
shop. These come in 10 pound bdX6s arid are priced at $.55 per pound or $5.50
per box. For the benefit of small families the butchers will be happy to accom
odate less than box lot requests. We regret that the Kodiak pure crab meat is
rather expensive ($1.86 per pound) and unless the crab boats operate in the vic
inity of Adak again this year, it is not intended to stock the pure crab meat in
the 15 pound squares. We would like to invite your attention to the Dungeness
Crab Meat available in the 1 pound boxes at $1.59. We do recommend the crab legs
in the shell as a "good buy" and we are sure that you seafood fans will enjoy
"rolling your sleeves up" and digging into this item,
FRESH DO-NUTS - Effective Saturday, 11 November, fresh donuts will be available
at the Commissary each Saturday morning. The Navy Exchange baker has advised us
that these will be available in three types (powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar and
plain). There will be no limit on the quantity which may be purchased, but we
do solicit your patience during the initial "feeling out period" while we attempt
to outguess anticipated demand. Price-wise, these donuts will sell for $.40 per <
dozen. If any of the patrons indicate a desire to have these donuts available
during the week, we will be happy to make the necessary arrangements. Please in
form any of the salesfloor personnel if you would like these available more reg
ularly. It is planned to continue to sell Saturday morning pastries from the
General Mess Bakeshop whenever a suitable item for bagging is available. Due to
the existing workload on the General Mess Bakeshop, it will be necessary to con
tinue to limit the quantity to one bag of General Mess Pastries per patron.
