Overseas Military Coupon Program ~ January 2018 Update
In July of 2015, Plucking Of My Heartstrings adopted an overseas military base to send expired coupons to. Since then $69,882.95 in coupons has been sent to a Navy base in Yokusuka, Japan.
The first package of expired coupons for the year (2018) was sent on January 8th. It totaled $2,961.55 and there were over 3000 coupons.
In case you were not aware, expired coupons of up to 6 months can be used in overseas military commissaries. You can find more information here: Overseas Military Coupon Program
THANK YOU, once again, to those who have donated expired coupons! Having once been a military wife raising five children, I can tell you that coupons really do help a lot with the expense of food. And I am quite sure that the Yokusuka, Japan military base is very appreciative of the help!
Keep those coupons coming!
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 did not know about this and I used to be a Navy wife!
I was a navy wife for years and never knew about it! It took my now ex-husband to be stationed in Italy to find out about this program.
