Fort Bliss Post Exchange

I’m lucky to be stationed here at Fort Bliss because this PX is the BOMB! Located within the «Freedom Crossing» complex, this PX is HUGE and you will find everything you need without having to ever leave the post. Prices may be higher than the Commissary nearby but hell, it’s wayy cheaper than any places off-​post. Great place to look and shop around on the weekend!

I think this PX is decent. It’s big enough and they got everything you need.
I didn’t know that but they do price matching. If you can bring something to prove that the stuff you wanna buy is cheaper at a different store, they’d match the price for you. What’s cool about it is that they don’t charge tax so you would save some. I would recommend you to come here first if it’s a big shopping like buying TV or laptop, and see if they carry the product you’re gonna buy.

As far as Army posts go, I gotta give a nod to the Ft Bliss PX. It has everything you need and at a somewhat reasonable price. Tax free shipping is always a plus… And I might be wrong but I’m sure they price match too?
Now then, Freedom Crossing in general gives this px a star bump… If you’re at the PX then by default you’re at freedom crossing. It’s pretty legit. Until I came here, the nicest exchange I’ve ever been too, is the exchange on Kadena AirForce Base in Okinawa Japan. That exchange alone is equal to, if not sliiiightly better than here. But again, the Freedom Crossing aspect of Ft Bliss gets it a 4^th star. When you talk about everything you need, it’s really EVERYTHING you need… Plus… You can buy guns here… You have no idea the number of times I’ve been out and needed to pick up a dog bed, toilet paper, and a semi auto pistol! Finally a place for all three and so much more… Awwww, How American! (*^_​^*)

There are lots of choices for things to eat at the food court! The little shopettes are interesting and behind the shopettes there is a place for nursing mothers and babies to sit and relax in comfy chairs! I use the little nursing area when my baby gets too distracted by other people and we have never had anyone say anything about us nursing out in the food court. The Px has a little bit of everything that you would need for your home

My national guard unit mobilized out of Fort Bliss for our deployment, so I have short exposure to the post and it’s amenities.
The BX is comparable in size to the ones at Ft. Lewis & Ft. Bragg, the staff seem friendly or polite and there’s plenty of parking but on busy weekends don’t expect to park close to it.
Long lines during the holidays. Even the 10 item or less is at least a 20 minute wait.
If you’re a parent the kids sections are pretty large with a few racks of 50% off.
Several «50% and 75%» tagged clothing racks but even I didn’t break down for a orange addidas climalite running shirt.
If you want souvenirs, they have stuff for Texas (magnets, cups, snow globes) and for Ft. Bliss (ashtray for example) but none of it really appealed to me for Christmas gifts. I overheard one private remark $ 23 for a hat seemed a bit much but he walked off with it anyway.
There’s about 4 different kinds of Ft. Bliss t-​shirts and 1^st AD t-​shirts but the colored ones in size large are gone.
Downside — no toddler sized t-​shirts with Ft. Bliss on it.
As far as men’s suits — it’s a VERY limited selection. The women seem to be more upscale, fashionable and snazzy dressers than men in El Paso, so that’s probably why they don’t stock many Armani, Hugo Boss or Versace suits.
The men’s shoe section was so so as far as selection goes.
The most popular section for men seemed to be the Under Armor clothes, the sweatshirts were snapped up fast.
In the men’s department, the 5.11 section there were sizes other BXs like Fort Belvoir VA, Fort Bragg NC and Fort Meade MD didn’t have.
If you’re a 1^st AD vet (I’m not) there’s tons of sweatshirts, t-​shirts, shorts, etc. with the 1^st AD Div logo on them but most of the green colored ones are gone, so hope you like purple, red or blue. A few clothing items with Ft. Bliss on them but not many.
Around the holidays, there’s Texas themed Christmas cards.

They only carry high end stuff. That doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s the best deal. I like being able to compare items with other differently priced things. I don’t need the very best in bath towels. I get by with a nice middle range bath towel :)

The PX is nice and convenient if you are on base, but I have never found their prices to be low like the commissary. Most of the time you can find better prices online anyway.

Lots o stuff to get out here, They also have a food court, its like a mini mall really nice, clean too, outside they have other vendors too, and it makes it seem like a square block of stores, and has a kid play area near by.
