Overseas Coupon Program

Here is a link you can check out. Sending expired coupons overseas to our military familys is a really great idea.

Just remember that you have to fill out a customs form- really painless. If you do it once, you will be able to do it a thousand times without even looking. I use the flat rate envelopes that are $4.95 to save on shipping. You are paying to send the envelope to a APO/FPO box in the US and they sort and send it overseas from there, so you don't have to pay for overseas shipping.

It really is an easy way to help out our military families overseas.

Hi all! I just looked at the overseas coupon program website and my post wasn't on the list! I live in Baumholder, Germany. I'm going to try to get it added but if any of you want a real person to send your expired coupons to please let me know. Our commissary has a box by the door for people to drop coupons in and take the ones they want out. I would be glad to put the ones you send in that box if you wanted to send them to me. I also would love to go through them and get some out for myself!! LOL I have an APO address so sending the coupons to me is very cheap. My sister sends to me in a regular envelope with a stamp but of course she doesn't send very many at a time.

We have several members right here at HCW that are stationed overseas that you can send your expireds too. We have a list of them in our Expireds coupon forum, and the link to the list is Overseas Military looking for expireds

I can promise you that they are very grateful for any coupons that you send them.

onmyweigh, I'm sending you a pm with some information so we can get you added to that list as well.

Does anyone know which coupons they don't use.

For instance, I read somewhere that they don't use : Egg, Milk and Bread Coupons.

Are there any other suggestions?

That thread in the Expireds forum has a couple of posts with that information.

It's hard to see the link since it's not underlined but it is a link. Here it is again: Overseas Military looking for expireds
