Thank You

I just wanted to thank all of you who have sent your expired coupons to me over the past month. I sent a batch to Germany today.

For our military families stationed overseas, food costs are very high. Most families shop at the commissary but staples such as bread and milk cost significantly more than in the States. Many military families overseas are one income families and the high cost of groceries can really strain their budget.

There is something you can do to help. Overseas commissaries accept coupons 6 months past their expiration date, but coupons overseas are scarce. This is where you come in, you can send your expired coupons to these military families overseas. This is a great way to support our troops and only costs you the price of a stamp.

If you are interested in supporting our troops in this way please email me at coupons4troops (at) comcast (dot) net and I can give you more information. If you are a military family stationed overseas and would like to receive coupons please email me, I would love to send you some coupons.

    I would love to know more about this so I can send expired coupons, and encourage others to do so with a post on my website. They already have enough going on, to have to worry over ridiculous food prices too.

19. Sarah Evans, on August 1st, 2008 at 11:38 am Said:

    I use to be a dependant overseas on the military base. It certainly was a blessing when our family mailed us their expired coupons. I would love to be able to do someone the same service.
    Thank you for your service!

    I would love to send coupons overseas and get my friends to do the same. Do you have an address overseas to send these coupons to?

22. Jill, on August 13th, 2008 at 7:10 am Said:

    Please send me more information and also your address so I too can send you coupons. I’m getting ready to go through mine. Also can I put your banner, coupons for troops on my website?

    Hey Toni,
    Okay, yeah food ain’t cheap in Singapore! We don’t even have a commissary. We have the NEX and they carry a lot of food but you know the NEX prices. Sign me up! Email me when you have time… we have to catch up. Love the site!

24. Kristen, on August 26th, 2008 at 2:33 pm Said:

    I would like to put a button on my website to tell people how they can get involved with their coupons. Could you give me the info so I can send you my expired’s and also so that I can let my readers know how to?

Thanks for leaving a comment!
