What You Can Buy at FMC Fort Worth’s Commissary (what families should know)

Commissary lists help you plan, but they're not guarantees. The examples below give you a realistic snapshot of what FMC Fort Worth carries - not a complete catalog. Keep in mind: quantities may be limited based on availability, and prices can change without notice.

Notable Items Limits

  • Photo tickets: $1.00 each
  • Photo tickets: limit 10 per purchase

Just because an item appears on the list doesn't mean it's in stock. If you're timing something specific - like supplies for letters or photos - think of the list as "what they carry when available," not "what's guaranteed every shopping day."

FMC Fort Worth limits commissary quantities based on availability. Your loved one might have money on the books but still can't get a specific item that week - or can only buy part of what they planned. If you're sending funds for something specific, coordinate first. Don't budget around an item that might be temporarily unavailable.

Price heads-up: Commissary prices at FMC Fort Worth can change without notice. Verify current pricing before sending money earmarked for a specific purchase.

Commissary at FMC Fort Worth works like a final-sale counter. Once the receipt is provided and the person leaves the window, the sale is done. Posted policy: no exchanges, no refunds. The practical takeaway for families? Mistakes are hard to fix after the fact, even honest mix-ups.

Tip: No exchanges or refunds means double-checking matters. Look at the receipt before leaving the window.

What You Can Buy at FMC Fort Worth’s Commissary (what families should know)
  1. Pick the exact item together - If your loved one is trying to buy something specific (for example, photo tickets), confirm what they want and what it costs (photo tickets are listed at $1.00 each).
  2. Plan around limits and stock - Watch for per-purchase limits (photo tickets are limited to 10 per purchase) and remember quantities may be limited based on availability.
  3. Budget with flexibility - Since prices are subject to change without prior notice, avoid sending “exact change” for a single item; leave room in case the price has shifted.

Final-sale reminder: Once the receipt is provided and they leave the window, the sale is final. Posted policy says no exchanges and no refunds.
