Cutting Coupons

Act of Kindness relating to Coupons:

Okay, so what do I do with all those coupons I don't end up using? If you are like me, I don't use all those coupons that I get in my paper and I end up throwing them away, not to mention I end up not using some of the ones I have already clipped. Want to do something great? I found this website that linked me to something great - a way to give. Our service families that are stationed overseas need our help. We can send our coupons that we don't use, that are expired up to 2 months and it will help them save money. We adopt a base and follow a few simple rules, and send the coupons overseas. The families get to use them up to 6 months expired and it helps a ton.

I have already started saving my coupons. I wanted to do this through our church, but do to recent changes, we will post-pone adopting a base for now. So, I am still choosing to adopt a base and send what I have already collected. Want to help me? If you do, send me an email and I will explain it. I think a side benefit we can all gain besides helping someone else, is we can even trade / swap coupons together and what we don't use, we can send off to them.
