MAY IS MILITARY APPRECIATION MONTH!
If you have ever wanted to show your appreciation for the military, here is something you can do…send them your expired manufacturer’s coupons.
On May 10, 2017 a package containing $5,447.10 in expired coupons was sent to our adopted military base in Yokosuka, Japan.
This makes a total of $12,868.75 so far for the year 2017. Since July 2015 our total is now 31,759.90. THANK YOU to all who donated.
If you are interested in adopting your own military base or if you’d like to donate coupons via this blog please go to Overseas Military Coupon Program for information.
If you have any questions about the program you can email me at pluckingofmyheartstrings@gmail.com
Don’t have any coupons to send but would like to help? Please consider making a small donation. Donations will be used for the cost of mailing coupons overseas. Thank you.

This is wonderful! I had no idea about the coupons. Thank you!
A lot of people don’t know about this. It’s a great way to help the military and their families.
Thank you for sharing the information.
This is a program that many do not know about. I’m glad to share the information…
For sure. I had no idea.
Cool! I don’t get many or use many, but will try to remember to save up what I do come across for you.

Thanks Barbara.
What a great initiative! All the best and kudos!
Thank you!
I have never heard of this. I never use coupons. I am going to see if I can remember to do this.
Maybe you know someone who does use coupons? You can always let them know : )
Well, since I don’t use the coupons, but I GET them – I am already making stacks in baggies. Plus, I did post this on FB because it is a GREAT idea, but I had never heard of it. So . . . sure . . . I tried to let people know. Plus, I will do it. I will send all my coupons. After I read this I was so excited to get my stack of coupons that I usually just put in the recycle bin. But then when I went through them most of them are store coupons. But I did keep the ones that were not.
Thanks, again for posting this!!!
Thank you for posting about this on your Facebook and for deciding to participate. I think many people would be willing to do this if they knew about it.
Over $31,000 since 2015?! That is truly impressive. 🙂
I didn’t do it alone, my followers and friends helped get this total. It’s amazing how much those little pieces of paper can add up to!
Wow, I think this is a kind and amazing offer if gesture to support our troops! I love it!
I’ll definitely have to keep this in mind for my husbands own military base in Hawaii, US!
Since Hawaii is in the US I am not sure if the commissary there would take the expired coupons, but it doesn’t hurt to find out. Thank your husband for me for his service.
