My "real" post for class this week is "The One with the Jingles", but I couldn't resist posting a quick coupon "did you know" in honor of this past week's Veteran's Day...
DID YOU KNOW that your coupons can be mailed to various U.S. Military Bases throughout the world??? These military families can use them up to 6 months past the expiration date!!! So if you have any coupons (expired or not) that you don't know what to do with- DON'T THROW THEM AWAY!!! Why not help out these awesome military families? :)
I read about this in a guest post on a blog I regularly follow: www.frugalcouponliving.com. The guest blogger who wrote about it (give credit where credit is due!) blogs at: http://www.mamacheaps.com/.
For more information, check out The Overseas Coupon Program: http://ocpnet.org/. I personally have not sent any coupons yet- I just recently found out about the program. I have a whole basket full that I'm getting ready to take to the Post Office in the next few weeks! If you have any to add, let me know!
I have a coworker who is an Army wife and has lived overseas before- she confirmed that this is legit! Her family used to send her coupons- I think this is the only way these military families can get coupons when they're overseas.
Just some food for thought. :) If any of you throw out/recycle your coupon inserts from the Sunday paper, PLEASE give them to me! I will put them to good use! Thank you!

You. Are. Crazy. But, I say that out of total jealousy!
