I know as a military wife in Germany, one of the things we needed the most was manufacturer coupons. We were allowed to use expired coupons up to six months old at the exchanges and commissaries, but it didn't make it any easier to get them.
Spring forward to now and we can support our troops and military families so much easier. There are support groups worldwide, and Coups for Troops: The Carolinas, is one of them.
Founded in March, they collect and organize coupons to send to the troops and their families. But, they need your help - they need your recently expired coupons or coupons you do not want.
Another thing you can do is help spread the word. Let's make it viral. Spread it on Twitter, Facebook, share it in your groups and networks, and blog about it. It's the least we can do to help our military.
SEND YOUR COUPONS TO:
Coups For Troops
PO Box 147
Winnabow NC 28479

Thank you for helping to get the word out. This is such an easy way to support our troops and costs very little. I love the idea of making it viral!
Thanks again!
Hi !!! Good job!
I have recently started sending expired coupons overseas to our military families. It's a great feeling to know that I am helping them out with something that is useless to me.
I found another program, CouponstoTroops, to go through where they will put you in touch with a military family so you can mail your coupons right them to. They get them so much quicker than if I was to mail them to the address above.
You can find them on facebook - www.facebook.com/couponstotroops.
When I emailed them to request a family, I heard back from a family in Japan within just a few hours!
When you posted this in May, we had around 30 military families signed up with us to receive coupons. We now have almost 450 families serving in 10 countries. Please remember to send us your expired coupons!
