A while ago I asked about what to do with expired coupons. Many of you directed me to Toni at The Happy Housewife, as she gathers up and sends out coupons.
Sarina emailed me last week with another link that you can use to help out our brave men and women and their families! Simply click here and take a quiz about coupons. For every answer you get right, they will donate coupons to military families. While you are there, click on "How can I help more?" for a list of addresses for you to use to mail your expired coupons!
There is a maximum of 5 correct answers per day for a total donation of $2.50 per day, so please bookmark the site and visit it often. It only takes a minute or so and you have the potential to learn more about coupon and grocery store policies!
I meant to post this last week, but with everything that we had going on with painting and new floors and then I got sick in the middle of all of that, it's a miracle I got ANYTHING up on this site! Thanks for the link Sarina!

Thank you, I was just doing research yesterday about this for my new coupon group I'm starting.

Hi everyone!
As a military veteran, I have finally found something I can do personally which can really make a difference in other military families' lives. Everyone has been sending out the care packages to the men and women who are away at war in a desert or on a mountain somewhere, but what about their families who are stuck in another country alone?
This year I have started a new hobby, sort of. I realized that I had a ton of expired coupons or extra coupons of items I wasn¢t really going to buy. Then I thought about all the coupons I don¢t clip out of my Sunday paper. So now I am collecting expired and extra coupons to send to military families stationed overseas. These families can use your manufacturer¢s coupons up to 6 months past the expiration date. At first I did this on my own, but now I have included it as sort of a "charity" run by my business, Little Snuggle Buggles. We call the program the Stars and Stripes Coupon Project. Along with the coupons we try to donate as many coupon "billfolds" as we can, and we try to disseminate all the coupons evenly through all the overseas bases.
So anyhow, I would love if you moms could go through your coupons and send me any that you will not be using. Also, if you get a Sunday paper and don¢t even take a look at the coupon section, please send them my way! Together, we can really help these families. I know times are hard for us here in the U.S., but they are even harder for military families overseas. Most of these families live below the poverty level and really have no choice of where to shop to get the best deals like we can here. I know how tough it is since I was stationed in Italy for 2 years. Groceries are expensive everywhere!
Please send them to:

My husband is a retired Air Force Veteran, with 5 kids I clipped coupons regularly. We were stationed in Guam for 2 years and my mom and mother-in-law would send their coupons. I would love to send my extra coupons to help families overseas.
