Welcome to Day #7 and a great giveaway day!
Participating Coupon Class participants here is your chance to a wonderful giveaway just for you.
Topic of the day:
{What if my coupon expires? Can I still use it? Where can I donate?}
ΒAre you aware that each year millions of coupons go unused because people are unaware that they can donate them to military families. They can use them for up to 1 year on their military base and commissaries abroad. If you have manufacture coupons that have recently expired, you are able to extend your donating services by giving these coupons to the military families who are in need.
Be sure the coupon is a Manufacture and not a store, pharmacy or restaurant coupon.

Thanks Sherri and good luck!
We have a coupon group here in my town where we meet once a month to share the coupons we don't use. We all got together and adopted a military family through coupons to troops, ours go to Korea and we each send a little note with every package.
p.s. if I win I would like pink. Thanks
Wonderful Kathy and keep up the great work in your group. The pink one is beautiful. π
