I would like to repost something that has been on ThriftyFun in the past. Sending expired coupons to our troops. This is the link to a great site that explains all about how, what and where to send.

http://www.ocpnet.org/

Please take the time to do this for the men & women who have sacrificed so much that we may all live free.

Barbara from Hoffman, IL

Another website with information is http://www.couponstotroops.com/

Not only is there information on how someone can get started sending coupons as an individual or as a group, but also a project directory of different groups around the country, where you can physically drop off coupons and the groups will mail them out.

Hello! We are stationed here in Japan! We can use current coupons and expired coupons for up to 6 months after experation. We are also allowed to use coupons printed off the internet. We CAN NOT use store coupons- like coupons for Walgreens, Kroger , ETC. We just got here to Yokota AB , Japan- If anyone is willing to send me coupons i would greatly appreciate it. We are going to be here until May 2012- What coupons i do not use will be passed on to my neighbors or dropped off at the commissary coupon table. If you are able to mail me coupons - please send them to SrA Phillips
PSC 78 BOX 2684
APO, AP 96326
To mail here is just the same as mailing in the states- there are no extra fees involved- please tell your family and friends about sending coupons over seas to the active duty and there family. It only takes about 7-10 days for mail to get here. Thank you in advance.

The response to ocpnet has been tremendous. In fact, overwhelming. Please do not send large amounts of coupons to Vicenza, Italy. We receive far more than could be used by many small cities (over 200,000 per month)! Thank you to all who have contributed for your willingness and hard work. Our community does appreciate it.

I'm sure they will.
In fact, even if they haven't expired when you send
them, many will probably be expired by the time they
get there.
I am clipping all the coupons I run across.

Under "How do I participate" you will find:

"The cheapest way to send your coupons is via "Parcel Post". Since this method takes much longer to travel to its destination, please make sure that you send coupons that are no more than two months expired on the date of shipping if you use Parcel Post."

I think they can use them up to 6 months after the expiration date.
I know it is time consuming to clip all those coupons; I must confess I've been putting it off . Thanks for the reminder.

Are you sure they use expired coupons? I gave the web site a brief scan and didn't find the expiration date mentioned.
