Do you have coupons from your Sunday Daily Herald that are currently going unused? Coupons that are unwanted or needed? There are many coupons I do not use because of the stage of life I am in -- particularly baby coupons. I have learned of a place to send those unused coupons. Military commissaries overseas will accept manufacturers coupons for up to six months after the expiration date. If you don't use your coupons, simply send them on to military families serving overseas. You can do this one of two ways. You can follow the directions on www.ocpnet.org to learn how to adopt a military base and how to mail coupons to that base. Another easier alternative is an option I just recently learned about. Julie Young of Brigham City will accept your coupons, categorize them, and send them on to the military. Young currently sends coupons to London, Guam, Iraq and Germany. Young is also looking for more coupons to send to stateside military families, who need current coupons, ideally those that will not expire for several months. "I hope you can send a lot of people my way," Young said to me. "I would love to help the military families anyway I can. Especially the families with little babies and small children that need diapers and formula so badly, but can't afford to buy them. Meat, detergents, milk, juices, canned vegetables and fruits are the most expensive items. Any coupons in those categories are the most requested by my military wives." What a great way to help military families. Kudos to Young for her efforts in coordinating a project that allows us to share the wealth of couponing and show our support to military families. To contact Young, e-mail her at or leave a brief message at her answering service, (435) 730-4280.
