Expired Coupons

What do you do with your expired coupons?  I have always thrown mine away until I found that the military can use them.  Here is some infomation about sending your expired coupons:

• Coupons are accepted under the same conditions that are stated on the coupon
• Store coupons can not be accepted at commissaries…only manufacturer coupons
• Expired coupons can be used only at overseas commissaries (up to 6 months).  Otherwise they must be in date.
• Commissaries do not double or triple coupons.
• Internet coupons are acceptable as long as they are manufacturer coupons.
• When sending expired (or any) coupons to overseas commissaries, please cut them out of the insert before sending.

This is a great activity to involve your kids.  Not only is it an opportunity to have a conversation about the sacrifice our military makes for our freedom, but you will also receive a Thank You note several weeks after sending them. You can send coupons you aren’t going to use or expired coupons to:
