Support troops through coupons

Did you know our military members who are serving overseas can use coupons up to six months after they expire? Rather than throwing away all your expired coupons, donate them and help military families save some money as well.

The ladies of www. TheKrazyCouponLady.com have developed locations for people to send their expired coupons. There are a few guidelines to use when sending these coupons.

1. Only manufacturer coupons are accepted. Do not send store or restaurant coupons.

2. All coupons must be clipped and sorted into food and nonfood categories. Think of food items as things that humans eat. Items such as gum, Slim-Fast and mints are considered food. Items such as dog food, cat food and vitamins will be considered nonfood.

3. Do not send coupons that are more than 30 days expired.

To donate, place your separated coupons into two sealed plastic bags. Label one bag “Food Coupons” and the other “Nonfood Coupons.” Once you have them organized, just mail your expired coupons to:
