I've posted this multiple times before but I'm pretty sure I can't say it enough:
Here's a question everyone wants to know the answer to, 'what do you do with all those expired coupons?' Did you know military bases overseas can actually use coupons up to 6 months past the expiration date? It's true!
If you know a family stationed overseas, send the coupons their way. If you have an address of an overseas base that you would like to share with us, feel free to post it in the comments below.
To make it easy, we adopted a Navy base overseas and have been sending them coupons for 3 years. Feel free to send a few their way too:

Put in a little note letting them know you found their address on MoneySavingQueen.com, it's great for them to see how many great givers we have on our site! This is such an amazing way to give back to all the troops who have done so much for us!

Thanks for re-posting this! I've been wanting to do this.

Do you have to separate the coupons by fool and non-food items? One site I found you had to add the value of the coupons as well. I would love to send to troops.
I've never heard that you had to separate them like that, all I know is that they need to be cut manufacturer coupons. We've been sending them to this base for a long time and no one has ever said to sort them by food and non-food. That might be just the way that particular base requested them.

I sent some out the other day. I was surprised to see it cost more to send an envelope full of coupons then a medium size priority box. Next time I am gonna try the priority envelops and see if it is cheaper. Or I should just send them more often so I don't notice the price so much. :) Its a great thing to be a part of and I included that I found it on here. So thank you very much :)
I have over 200 coupons I want to donate because I didn't get to use them. SO, thank you so much for reposting this info.
You just made my day. The ladies an I have been swapping coupons and there are still plenty left over we have not figured out what to do with. This is a wonderful way to share with those that care about us most!
I have a very large amount of expired coupons I would love for.our military families to be able to use.
The only problem I have is that I can not afford to send them.over.
Any suggestions?
