**UPDATE – Due to time constraints, I am no longer sending expired coupons to Vicenza, Italy. If you would like to adopt a military base and send your coupons out, go HERE for more info on how to do this!
Start gathering your August expired coupons for Couponing for the Troops! As you know, every month I send expired coupons for troops overseas in Vicenza, Italy. Overseas military bases are able to use expired coupons that are up to 6 months old. How awesome is that!?!
**You can watch me on two local tv stations when they interviewed me about Couponing for the Troops HERE and HERE.
As always, a huge thank you to everyone for sending me your coupons every month! I know that you have to pay for postage and I appreciate your generosity. Also – because of the huge volume of envelopes and boxes we receive, I can not confirm that we received your shipment. I hope that you understand!
Below are the requirements if you are interested in with Addicted to Saving’s Couponing for the Troops. I ask that you please take the time to sort and cut your coupons per the instructions below:
1) Mail your expired coupons to: Addicted to Saving, PMB 105, 8348 Little Rd, New Port Richey, FL 34654
2) Send me all coupons that expired ON or AFTER August 1st. (Commissaries will accept older expireds, but I’m only sending one month old coupons since I do this once a month)
3) Do not send me printable coupons and do not send store coupons (i.e. Target, Publix, Walgreens etc) because commissaries overseas will not accept them.
4) Please Please Please cut your coupons out and then separate your coupons into two categories Food & Nonfood. If you mail all of your coupons to me in one envelope, use an elastic or paperclip to keep the two categories separated. Food is considered anything eaten by humans.. Food is also considered gum. Nonfood is considered toiletries, dogfood or catfood (since it’s not consumed by humans), vitamins, medicine, etc. Again – please cut your coupons.
That’s it! I will do the rest of the work! I need all of your expired August coupons in my hand by September 15th!
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..
I really do appreciate you doing Coups for Troops. We are stationed overseas and have joined Coups for Troops and they do save us a great deal of money. We can generally save up to $50 a month with our awesome sponsor! I do know our commissary here takes printable coupons though, as long as they are manufacturs coupons. They will take them up to 6 months after the expiration date.
