Whether you clip all the coupons each week, keep track of the inserts by date, or just clip the ones you think you will use, chances are you have thrown out your expired coupons a time or more. Have you ever wondered if anybody out there would honor those expired coupons. Well, the answer is YES!! A military family stationed overseas is able to use expired coupons. There are a few stipulations to what they can use, though.
Here are the guidelines I was told by a relative who is in China right now with the military:
The coupons must be within 6 months of expiration.
They must state "manufacturer's coupon" on them.
They must state what they are to be used on (item, product, brand, etc.).
They must be scan-able (have a barcode/upc number).
Printed coupons are acceptable if they meet the above requirements.
If you are in the Tyler, TX area, the Tyler Area Coupon Club (TACC) meets approximately every 4-8 weeks and takes up a collection of expired coupons at every meeting. Please watch the club's Facebook page: Tyler Area Coupon Club for information on the meetings.
