Thank you all so much for mailing me your expired coupons. I received over 25 envelopes full of coupons from all of you! I realize you had to pay for postage and I thank all of you for helping out on this venture! I have gone through and separated all of the coupons and will get this sent out today. I received approximately $1,590 worth of food coupons and approximately $3,030 worth of household items coupons! I am going to do this once a month. I will post a reminder to all of you to start gathering your coupons on the last week of this month. Then, the first week of July, you will need to send your coupons to me so that I can get them sent off by July 15. **Note, my address has changed so if you have already mailed your coupons to me for this round, I will have a new address for you to send them to next month.
Thanks again to all who participated! To read my original post regarding Couponing for the Troops, go HERE.
Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
hey Liza, do you know of any groups that can use expired UNCUT coupons? I only cut the ones I need and I know this is for the troops and I should cut them for them, but if someone can use them without being cut, like if someone else only cuts the ones they use…then it’s a win/win situation. With the two little kids at home it’s really hard to do anything. 🙁
Hi Carmen! A friend of mine contacted MacDill and they will supposedly accept and distribute expired coupons insert sheets. However, the organization I am working with only accepts cut coupons. At this point, I don’t have time to work with MacDill and the base overseas. I totally get what you are saying though. For now, I’m only sending coupons to Italy BUT if I get more time in the future, I will look into more options for those of us who don’t cut coupons until we need them.
Do we need to have them all cut to send to you?
Or can we just send the insert packs?
