Couponing Tip: Where to Donate Expired Coupons

I get asked all the time what do I do with all of my expired coupons? I donate them! Here's how!

Where to Donate Expired Coupons

• Expired Coupons can be donated to the Military to use overseas.  I want to share with you an amazing way to give back to those serving our Country!  You can donate your expired coupons to be used by military families.  They are allowed to use expired coupons 6 months up to 1 year after the expiration date on base and at the commissaries abroad.  I really hate throwing away expired coupons so when I found out years ago that families can use them, I was just ecstatic!  
• The coupons are placed in common areas around each base and soldiers and their families can use them for up to 6 months after there expiration date.
• You should separate your coupons into two small envelopes. 
• You can also ask friends or your coupon buddies for all of their expired coupons as well. If you have a lot then make sure to separate them into 2 boxes and make sure all of the same coupons are grouped and tied together with a rubber band. (I like to keep things super organized to make their work a lot easier)
• Separate the envelopes or boxes into:

1. Food Items
2. Non Food Items
