Expired Coupons
An interesting way to support our troops is with our expired coupons. They are able to use US coupons up to 6 months after expiration dates at their commissaries if they are stationed abroad. We have decided to adopt a base in Gaeta Italy to mail our coupons too. As you clean out your coupon folder you can either mail them yourself or I will gladly mail them for you if you would like to just pay US postage rates and mail them to me.
The address for the base directly is:
Volunteer Coordinator
Navy FSC
PSC 811
FPO AE 09609
You will have to fill out customs forms since it is going over seas. If you would like me to send your coupons over when I send mine, please email me at jenny (at) southernsavers (dot) com and I’ll send you my address.
Tips:
- Clip all coupons - it decreases mailing weight to only mail the coupons
- Sort coupons into two bundles: Food and Non Food (what can be eaten by Humans and what cannot)

Can they use store coupons? Or just manufacturer coupons?

Hi Jenny. Love your blog. I’d like to send my expired coupons to you to send to the troops. How expired can they be, a week, a month? Thanks.

Hi Jenny,
I love your blog, so glad I am nosy and poke around at all the links!! We are so fortunate to have 4 different Publix by me so I live and breathe by their policies…. anywho… how do I get you my expireds? I was going to send them myself but I was having some trouble getting them there. They were sent back twice. I guess not being military I am not sure how these addresses work.
Thanks,
Lisa

Hi Jenny! I love your website and it has already helped me to save so much money!!! I recently became a SAHM so saving is very important to our family right now; we are trying to make it on much less now that I’m not working. Anyway, I’d love to send you my expired coupons so you can add them in with yours to send to our troops! I have been saving them until I figured out how to do this, so I should have a few now.
