Fantastic! I had not heard of this program before. I’m big on recycling; so glad these can be used by someone and I don’t have to throw them away! Thanks for the great info.

Can we send in baby formula coupons that have our names on them? I have many I didn’t use and thought they might be able to use those too.

Also, where I send mine they don’t take the self-printed kind or store coupons. Just regular manufacture coupons.

and i have alot more

Thank you for the info on where to send the expired coupons. I hope the families that will be receiving these coupons will be able to save a lot of money! I am pulling my expired/soon to be expired coupons today and will be sending them off tomorrow, or at the latest, on Monday. You are being so kind to offer a giveaway for those who are sending them out. I’d be more than happy to send you a photo of the coupons/envelope that I’ll be mailing out.

I have one questions though…does it have to be a Priority Flat Rate envelope, or does it just have to be a Priority envelope?

Thanks again!

Jo Ann September 22, 2011 at 6:25 pm

Kayla a September 22, 2011 at 11:53 am

Sending my coupons in this weekend. Love to be able to help others. My cousin is fighting over in Iraq and I know his family can use all the help they can get. Thanks for giving us the information.

Paula September 22, 2011 at 8:36 am

Started sending in my expired coupons to you. Now I have
family and friends giving me theirs to donate also. I am
so glad to be able to help the families who are serving our
country so we have our freedom.

Lynchburg Beth September 22, 2011 at 6:05 am

I have a huge stack that will go in the mail later today. Thanks for the heads up. I hate to throw a good coupon away!

tamara September 22, 2011 at 2:57 am

frances franklin September 21, 2011 at 11:15 pm

Clarissa September 21, 2011 at 10:52 pm

This is AWESOME! I did not know that you could do ANYTHING like this. I frequently send packages to the troops in Iraq, so I can not WAIT to send my HUGE stack of coupon’s off! I do believe this has made my night =]

Kam September 20, 2011 at 12:21 pm

Thanks for letting us participate in this program. I have always wondered what could be done with the coupons that I don’t use. I am so thankful that there is someone that we can send them to that can get some use out of them and also be helpful to them. A little way for us to show them that we support them and all that they do for us!

Jade September 19, 2011 at 12:19 pm

I’m sending my expired coupons. Thanks for letting us national readers participate!

Jodi Simpson September 18, 2011 at 10:16 pm

Will be sending off coupons as soon as I sort them, so glad to find an address to send my expired coupons to!

Dianne Berst September 18, 2011 at 7:59 pm

Thanks for making this so easy. I recently became aware of this program (via your web site??) and am eager to contribute. I’ll also be clipping current coupons that I won’t be using. “One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.”

Berni September 18, 2011 at 12:02 pm

Tiffany September 18, 2011 at 10:18 am

Was overseas for almost 11 years and LOVED receiving expired coupons!! Will be sending a package of them off on Monday!!

Renee September 18, 2011 at 7:47 am

I had some coupons before that I put on craigslist for free and this really nice family in my city emailed about them. They do collect all the coupons people don’t want and send them over seas. I never knew they could use the expired ones. We are prior military ourselves but never stationed overseas.

Tonya September 18, 2011 at 5:02 am

National reader here. Thanks for the address.

meme September 18, 2011 at 5:01 am

Can we use the address even if we’re from around here? Sorry if it double posts my first one just kinda vanished when I hit submit

Lisa September 18, 2011 at 12:50 am

I will be attending and will donate some coupons!!! I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time so I’m glad I can have a chance to help others!
