Coupons for Troops is a program I started in 2008. My goal is to provide expired and non-expired coupons to military families stationed overseas. The prices in overseas commissaries are significantly higher than those in the States and military families do not always have access to coupons in newspapers and inserts. Military commissaries overseas accept coupons up to six months past the expiration date.
Military Commissaries accept manufacturer coupons as well as internet printed coupons. The Commissary is a grocery store so only “grocery” coupons are needed. Families cannot use store specific coupons (ie Target, Walgreens, Kroger).
Those who participate in Coupons for Troops are assigned an overseas military family. Coupons, which do not need to be sorted, are then sent directly to the assigned family. All overseas military families have FPO or APO addresses so mailing coupons costs the same as if you were sending them stateside. You can send as many or as few coupons as you have available. Please only send coupons that have been expired 3 months of less in order to give the families time to sort and use the coupons.
If you are a military family stationed overseas and would like to receive coupons we would love to add you to the mailing list.
If you would like to participate in the program you can find specific details and a contact form here.

I just wanted to let you know that I just linked the picture on my blog and told everyone about this program. I just found out about it today. I am a new blogger, new couponer and having a great time. I am also learning bunches from your blog. I can’t wait to start helping military families. I would like to know where to mail my expired coupons. I can do it however you want, a family, or a group. Just let me know. Thanks.
I blogged about this http://bargainfun.blogspot.com/2009/04/dont-throw-away-all-those-expired.html Thanks for the info !
This is fabulous! I’ve mailed them overseas before, but I never knew if they actually got to someone who can use them. The address I had was pretty generic! This is more personalized, and it will make me remember to clean out my coupons and send!
I would love to help the miltary families so please send me the address so I can mail them out and at my job we have a coupons club so I have a lot of old coupons that can help a family out there
Thank you
I would love to send my expired coupons to a military family. Please send me more info on what I need to do to get started.

Hello everyone,
My name is Jennifer and my family and I are stationed at a little post in the town of Hohenfels, Germany. We have 17 American families here and all of us would love coupons from anyone. Since we mainly shop of the economy it gets really spendy. We don’t get many coupons at our commisary so any help would be great. Feel free to contact my email for an address.
Sorry everyone my email is
burlboo@hotmail.com
Hi, I just found your site – I also have a blog dedicated to coupons & the troops. I use coupons to get items FREE or at little cost to mail in care packages to the troops.
Hola,
I would liek to contribute coupons, I have been collecting for a while, however, I read on their website you have to total up the value of the coupons, is that true?
Please forward address to send the coupons to.
Thanks for your attention.
I have been sending expired coupons for years to APO addresses for our military families. How cool it would be to send them directly to a matched family! Please send me an address (or two) & I will start sending them right away!
I also plan on posting about this on my blog. Thanks for getting the word out & doing this service.
Please send me an address, I would love to help out our military families!
how do i get a family?
We are stationed in Rota, Spain and cost of everything is a bit more than in the states so coupons would really help! (1/2 gallon of milk here costs the same as a gallon in the states!) We are also expecting a baby in September so diaper coupons are REALLY appreciate as they are about $30-35 a pack! Thanks everyone and feel free to email me for an address… Lisa.Shanle@gmail.com
I just wanted to say thank you so much for this site. We are stationed in Italy and have been so blessed to receive coupons from 3 wonderful woman. It really is alot more expensive here and it so nice to help extend the money my husband works so hard to make. Thanks again from the Kirkland Family
I’d love to share your program with my fellow military wives. Thank you on behalf of my friends for blessing us this way.
I would love to share my coupons with our military. We need to do all we can to support them….they do soo much for us. Please let me know where to send them to. Thanks for all you do.

This is a wonderful idea! I now feel so guilty throwing away expired coupons, when others nd them so badly. Please send me the address to send them to. Thank you.
I have so many coupons and I hate having to throw them out. This is great. Question… I live in Canada. Is there a program that I can send my coupons to or can you accept my coupons for your cause? Please email and let me know. I would love to help out.
