The commissary is priced similarly to a normal grocery store. Some items are more expensive, some are less expensive and there are always going to be people that say it's "too expensive". But, every inmate looks forward to their commissary day (one designated day per week). Depending on where your inmate is, inmates may spend about $200 - $300 per month on the commissary
