Military Coupon Program /Operation Expiration

[snuggleszam]

Overseas military bases will accept expired grocery coupons up to six months from their expiration date as well as non-expired coupons.For the cost of postage, you can help our military families save big every month!
Please follow these guidelines:

1. Send coupons that are just a month or two past their expiration date, since it takes time to ship, sort and distribute to personnel.

2. If possible, try to sort coupons into smaller envelopes in the same categories you would use. At the very least, sort them into FOOD and NON FOOD if possible.
Send coupons to one of these bases:

I'm on it!

 

[snuggleszam]

Thanks I think this is a really good thing for helping our troops and their family's that they are excepting expired coupons

 

[snuggleszam]

I hope people can spread the word about this. Taking your expired coupons with a cost of a stamp can help their families out. Its better than you throwing them away.

i can even send non expired ones that i don't use. thanks.

 

[snuggleszam]

Yes they are exception non expired and expired ones

 

[iokijo]

does anybody know if they accept internet coupons? or is this only for pre-printed ones?

Thanks for the info on this.. I've been saving coupons for months, but the only info I had been able to get requested they be sent overseas by priority.. kind of pricey for a broke person.. This I can manage.. I'll have to go thru the 2# of them I have & pull any too far past date..

Thanks again.. I emailed info with request it be fwd...

i can't make up my mind who to send to so i am going to make piles for all.

 

[snuggleszam]

Thanks to everyone

I will definetly send my coupons (expired & non-expired) the ones I don't use to them. This is such a great idea. Listen up everyone, spread the word.......

 

[snuggleszam]

just got this in the mail:
"thank you so much for your recent coupons. due to an overwhelming amount of mail i have received, i can no longer accept coupons at this time. if you have given my name and address to others, please inform them that i cannot receive coupons anymore.
we appreciate your support for military families!"
