Expired Coupons
With all the coupons that I have that expire it seems a waste to throw them away! Well, it is! So A Few ShortCuts has adopted a military base to send our coupons to!
You can do it to! This is for all A Few ShortCuts readers and I hope we can show our service men and women how much we appreciate them by helping them and their families save money!
Us Military can use coupons up to 6 months after expiration. So, gather your coupons that expired in the last month or 2 and send them to…

Customs Form Needed
The U.S.P.S. also requires Customs Form 2976-A be attached to the outside of the mailer when sending directly to a base overseas. Use the description “Manufacturer’s Coupons” and record the value as “–$0.00–”. Be sure to check the “Gift” box on the form and for them to return the coupons if there are problems if using Priority Mail. This will allow time to resend them to another base.
You will always find this info at the top of the page under the coupons tab.

I am confused. I am a military family, can I use my coupons 6 months after they expire?

Becky this is for overseas bases only, so if you are then yes you can. Otherwise no.

Do you have a web site for a Marine base overseas. We have a family support group for Marines and this would be a great thing for us to do. If you don’t, could you point me in the direction to find one. I’ll send them wherever, but would be nice to help Marine families.
Thanks Jude
Jude I found a site that might be helpful, do a google search for “overseas coupon program” and the first link allows you to find base lists taking donations.
I am going to send mine to Italy because I have family stationed on the air force base!

As far as I know it’s only the Comissery overseas that allow them for 6 month after expiration, you may want to check with your comissary here in the US;

You might want to check with your local paper company. Ours takes them and sends them themselves.

They prefer the coupons from the inserts instead of the printed ones from the internet. Those overseas can print the online coupons and use them before they expire.
Where do you get the customs form from? The post office?
Yes!
