About Coups for Troops

As a new stay-at-home momma of boy/girl twins, our founder Stephanie Almasy had to find a way to save her family money. Several of her girlfriends were doing really well at couponing, saving their families hundreds of dollars each month. So Stephanie attended a coupon class in February to learn the tricks of the trade. At the end of the class, the instructor briefly mentioned that US military families overseas could use coupons up to 6 months past expiration. In March 2011, Stephanie created Coups For Troops to get the word out to couponers in The States, “don’t throw away your expired coupons!”

Coups For Troops’ first shipment of coupon donations went out to twenty-six US military families in April 2011. Just a few months later, we had over four hundred military families signed up to receive coupons in over 10 countries.
