With the beginning of the month, many coupons expire, but you don’t need to throw them away. Did you know that military families over seas can use coupons for up to 3 or more months AFTER the expiration date. Here’s how you can help:
Send your coupons to the Overseas Coupon Program, which which helps overseas military families save money with coupons. Check out the website and especially the FAQ section on the specifics regarding how you can help.
And for those of you that would personally like to know where your donated coupons are going, you can email: hcwsbp@gmail.com and ask them to provide you with a family’s name. You can also stay connected with Coupons To Troops through their Facebook page. It is a great way to ask questions or even leave a comment to share that you mailed a package out to help another family.
