It's the start of a new month, which means it's time to organize your coupons.

After you clip, sort and file, coupon shoppers are typically left with a pile of expired coupons and another stack of coupons that are still current but for products they'll never buy.

Before you toss them into your trash or recycle bins, consider shipping them to military families. Your efforts just might help the families of soldiers serving as nearby as Fort Bragg.

While the expired coupons can be used by military personnel shopping on bases overseas, your unwanted current coupons can be sent to soldiers and their families serving on bases in the United States.
