Did you know that Military serving overseas can use expired coupons? The Overseas Coupon Program (OCP) serves military families by assisting you to forward “manufacturer’s coupons” to overseas military bases. These bundles of coupons are placed on tables at the PX and Commissary, or handed out for use by military members and families on base.This helps the family save valuable dollars and stretch their budget.
Maybe you have a moms group, playgroup, Bible study or neighborhood association that could contribute to this great program. How do you get involved? Visit the OCP web site and click on the Adoption link. Then follow the instructions on how to “adopt” a base. Please make sure you know the procedure for donating: Only Manufactures coupons (no store or printed coupons), cut all coupons, sort into food and non food, 2 months max expiration date. Shipping is to an APO address so it is like shipping to anywhere in the states. If you have any experience with this program or one like it, let us know!

CouponsToTroops is another program that is all about sending expired couposn overseas, except that they recommend sending directly to a military family. And if you would like help in locating a family overseas, they can help out with that as well. Just send them an email at [email protected] to request an address and they'll put you in touch with a military family who's interested in receiving coupons. http://www.facebook.com/couponstotroops
