coupons to help our troops
#1
A lady I know collects manufacturers cents off coupons to send to our overseas troops to help stretch their budgets. She sends to Guam (think Teri) and Puerto Rico (think mrsdralshhadeh). So next time you get the Sunday circulars or a magazine, why don't you clip the coupons and when you get a bunch, send to her. Interested? PM me and I'll give you her address. It's a little something we can all do to help. (they are good for 6 months after expiration - so you don't have to worry about getting them out right away) (no local stores, obviously) Thanks.

Also military commissaries overseas accept manufacturer's cents-off coupons for up to six months past their printed expiration dates so if you have some that you intended to use and forgot about. Send those too!

Some are only taking up to 3 months expired, but that doesn't mean to NOT send them.
DO NOT send the coupons for what is made locally in your area. You would not believe how many coupons are sent for XYZ Toilet Paper and come to find out, it's just a local item.
All coupons are graciously accepted by those that use them. I used to be the Point Person for collecting coupons for the command in Hawaii. Had TONS of ladies send envelopes full of coupons and we would have a potluck once a month with a free for all with the coupons.
