Overseas Military Coupon Program ~ December 2017
In July of 2015 I decided to stop throwing away my expired coupons and send them overseas to a military base so that they could be distributed in the commissary there. In overseas military commissaries expired coupons are good six months beyond their expiration date.
I created a page, Overseas Military Coupon Program, explained everything and asked my readers to please consider sending their expired coupons to me so I could cut, sort, bag and mail them off to Plucking Of My Heartstrings’ adopted military base in Yokosuka, Japan.
In 2015 Plucking Of My Heartstrings sent $8,004.95 worth of expired coupons to Yokosuka, Japan. In 2016 the total was $10,886.20.
As for 2017….
January – $$7,421.65
May – $5,447.10
June – $5,425.15
Expired coupons were sent out in September, October, and December. I had taken a hiatus from blogging but did send out the coupons.
September – $14,235.50
October – $6,421.00
December – $12,042.00
So what was the total of coupons sent in 2017? $50,992.40!! How awesome is that!! THANK YOU SO MUCH to all who donated.
Till next year….
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.

I really enjoy your blog posts! Can’t wait to see what you write about in the coming year.
That is amazing Cheryl! Well done! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thank you Susan. I was amazed at the total myself. Couldn’t have done it without the help of friends and blog followers. Have a wonderful 2018!
How clever! You’re an inspiration.
It was with the help of those sending me their expired coupons that made the total amount what it is. Have a great new year!
I don’t use coupons personally, but I love the idea.
I’m glad the overseas commissaries allow this! Using coupons is very time consuming. Sometimes I wonder why I bother….and then I see how much I have saved : )
That is amazing Cheryl, love this post well done x x x
Amen-Amein!! Thanks so much for Helping our Veterans!!
I save all my Coupons, and take them to my mom home, and she cuts them out, and sends them too a friend who Shares them with all USA Veterans and their families and friends!!
Love 💕 Always and Shalom ( Peace ), YSIC \o/
