Don't Throw Away Your Expired Coupons!

Feel bad throwing away those great coupons that have expired? Why not pay it forward and adopt a military base overseas. They can use them for 2 months past the expire date. Here's how:

• There is no donation minimum so grab a stack and clip away.
• They ask that you clip them as they only have volunteers who are already super busy. It'll also save you postage.
• Separate them into food and non-food.
• Do not send Assistance Vouchers, Food Stamps, or any other assistance items. Store coupons, those only good at the store named are useless on a military base overseas. Do not send restaurant coupons.
• Use envelopes or baggies to separate them, not paper clips or rubber bands.
  Label them.
• Add up the totals per bundle.
• Send them to a participating base here.

I've adopted a Naval Base in Sicily. If you don't want to adopt one of your own, send me an email or talk to me and you can send them in with me. Coupons do need to be sorted by food and non-food items.

If you don't want all the work, why not grab some friends, or your Mom's group and adopt a base together.For more info check this out.
