Coupons for the Military-over $3,500 in coupons sent!

Well, the month of May sure came and went fast...didn't it?

With a new month comes the cleaning out and reorganizing our COUPON BINDER.

Remember though, we consider coupons to be MONEY and our Nation's Military families can use expired coupons up to 6 months past the coupon expiration date.

We wrote about it HERE.

So, a-cleaning we did....to the tune of an estimated $3,500 in coupons.

This is just a SMALL portion of the coupons we are mailing. We sort our coupons into individual envelopes based upon expiration month: Food, Non-Food, Baby, and Pets.

Once they are all sorted, we use a flat rate USPS envelope to send them on their way.

Generally, throughout the binder clean out process, we file these away as we go...just to keep life a little more simple.

While the military families can use them up to 6 months expired, we send ours out every other month. This is because coupons are sent to the base, and this allows the families time to receive them, have them sorted, and still use them.

You might ask....WHY let so much money in coupons expire?
The answer is: Just because there is a coupon available, it doesn't mean that using it will get you the rock bottom price. Also, we clip ALL coupons, just in case. Those we don't use, we send in the hopes that a military family will be able to use it.

Or.... WHERE in the world did you get so many coupons in the first place?
The simple answer: We have A LOT of help.
 We ask our friends, and neighbors for coupon inserts.

We also need to mention, that my father, a Vietnam Vet, is such a supporter of our couponing, and often saves inserts just for me. Many of the coupons being sent are a direct result of his support.

This is My Dad, holding his first ever Great Grandson...BIG D!

Thanks so much to my Dad. For his contribution to our effort to send coupons to our military, for his service to our country and for so many things I just can't post here!

I Love You Dad!

Please consider clipping coupons for our military. I know that the families who receive them are so very grateful!

Semi-Wordless Wednesday: Stockpile Peeping

We've seen other blogs-and some of them post "Wordless Wednesday" Posts.

Generally, it's just a picture or two of what's going on in their lives.

We call THIS our Semi-Wordless Wednesday Post.

While the pictures may, indeed, leave you speechless, we wanted to provide you with some information about the pictures, and the Coupon-er/Stockpiler to whom they belong.

I "met" The Coupon Hustler via one of my favorite websites: We Use Coupons.

Obviously, she and I share a passion for Purex!
See:

But other than that, she and I share the same philosophy:
That creating a stockpile of items your family uses, while gathering those items at rock bottom prices is just smart!
Plus, we DO have that coupon-thing in common too.

We asked The Coupon Hustler a few things about her stockpile:

YaYa: "How long have you been stockpiling?"

The Coupon Hustler:  "I've been stockpiling for 6 months".

YaYa: "Can you tell us....what was your favorite score?"

The Coupon Hustler:  "My favorite deal so far was at Publix in Orlando, FL. Pedigree Dentastix were 3.00 and B1G1F! I got about 50 of them, as the coupons I had were for $2/1! So for every two I bought, I got $1 in overage!"

Additionally, she told us about another score she's pretty proud of:

"Mueller's Pasta. I did two separate deals w/ this. 

The first was at Publix in FL, and they were on sale B1G1F @ 1.43, and I had 1/1 coupons, so for every two I bought, I got $0.57 in overage. 

Around the same time, Winn Dixie has Mueller's Pasta on sale for $1, and again my coupons were for $1/1, but I also had several WD store coupons for $5/$25, so for every 25 boxes I got $5 in overage towards meat!

Between the two stores I bought 350+ boxes of pasta."

YaYa: "Do you have anything in your sights for this coming month...any particular item or items that you are hoping to add to your stockpile?"

The Coupon Hustler:  "With Summer around the corner, I forsee a lot of "BBQ" items on sale. We will probably see a lot of deals on chips, dip, soda, sports drinks, etc.

Some items I hope to add to my stockpile this month are sports drinks and canned tomatoes! "

While we here at YaYaCouponz aren't new to couponing,
we always enjoy the pictures of other stockpilers.

Thus, with out futher ado, here is another preview of The Coupon Hustler's 6 month Stockpile.

We have to tip our hats, as we find it quite impressive.
