Last weekend I was disappointed by the lack of "useful" coupons in the Sunday newspaper. I even began to regret spending the $1.75 on the newspaper. I clipped out the few that I would use, which just barely covered the expense of the newspaper, and prepared to throw the rest into recycling.
Then it hit me. Just because a coupon wasn't useful to me, it could very well be useful to someone else. That's why, last weekend, I posted about searching for a place that did coupon swaps.
Today I had a change of heart. No, I didn't decide to keep the coupons for myself. I decided to give them away. Today I searched online for options for donating my unused coupons. And I found exactly what I was looking for.
There are groups that collect unused and expired coupons and send them overseas to military families. Yes, even expired ones up to six months past expiration can be used by these families.
