As do I.
Soldiers and their families in commissaries all over the world can use those coupons six months after their expiration date! Those unethical people taking advantage of the poor manufacturers.
First, my Exchange and Commissary don't accept expired coupons. Second, if done so overseas, it is by direct contractual agreement with the suppliers, hardly an ethical issue, but you already knew that.
Exactly. Those in commissaries overseas are playing the game exactly according to the rules laid down by the manufacturers, who allow a six month extension since often coupons don't get to overseas people until after the expiration. Before the Internet, they got all of their coupons from friends and family in the US who would send them their clipped coupons, most of which had already expired.
Do you suggest those overseas just throw away coupons after the expiration date, or should they take advantage of the rules and use them for up to six months afterwards? That's all these super coupon clippers do, work within the system, playing by the rules.
Don't forget, just using manufacturer coupons is not what these super-savers do. Coupon clipping is only half of the equation. Manufacturers absorb the cost of their coupons to promote their brands. Stores absorb the cost of their promotionals such as sales and loyalty cards to keep people in the stores. The people you hear saving crazy money are combining coupons with store promotionals.
They're in the store, the store's happy. They're buying a brand, the manufacturer is happy. They're saving money, they're happy. Everybody's happy. Well, except for the people who are jealous of others saving so much money.
You might be able to use expired Register rewards.
there are people who end up with expired Register rewards.
. I have so many I often find one here or there.
So, in theory, the commissary overseas should be able to take them since they can take Register rewards in the US.
This is where you work a deal with that person to get their register rewards.
Perhaps you offer them some unexpired coupons in trade.
If you find that the overseas C. will take them then you can search around on the deal sites for people who have expired ones.
The register reward system is PERFECT for you.
You can make 3.00 for every two Motrin PM you buy at the end of the month. Then you turn around and use them in the commissary. Problem is..the coupons for that deal are expensive - but you can still make money.
