Expired Coupons to support our troops overseas

Now that Dominick's has updated their coupon policy much to the chagrin of us trying to super-coupon, many of us are left with a slew of expired coupons.

So what can you do with them?

Well, someone gave me a tip that military families can use them, so I started to do some digging.  Low and behold, I found a source that updates the list of places overseas that you mail your coupons to.  Looks like some bases are getting flooded (which is great), but there are others that haven't asked couponers to stop sending the coupons. 

So this weekend, I'll be updated my coupon binder and making a nice little package to mail out.

Here are the details:

• Military bases outside of the USA will accept manufacture coupons up to 6 months past their expiration date.
• They can use manufacture coupons only, no store coupons are accepted.
• You can mail your expired coupons directly to a military Family Services Center or Commissary (military base grocery store).
• When mailing packages to a military address (APO or FPO addresses), standard domestic rates apply.
• You can pick up FREE USPS mailing envelopes and boxes from any Post Office.

Some crafty giveaways!

This past weekend, I took part in a fun webcast from CHA (Craft & Hobby Association).  I got to hear from a lot of designers and crafting manufacturers.  If you know me well, you know that this is a little piece of heaven for me!  Anyway, I've signed up for a ton of newsletters, facebook pages and tweets from the various experts.  

Today, I get to bring you details on a contest from Aleene's Tacky Glue.  You know the stuff, right?!  It's amazing glue.  I use it a lot on fabric based items, but it's great on so much stuff.

In honor of Aleene's 87th birthday, they are having a mega giveaway worth $87.  

You can even have multiple entries by doing things like this right now (blogging about it).  Yay me for the double entry!

If you don't think of yourself as a crafter or see no need for the glue, then think of ME!  Enter and give me the prize if you win.  LOL!

In all serious...it's amazing stuff.  I've been using it for years!
