Four Ways to Help Strangers Save Money

For those who are too shy to drop-shop coupons at stores or who often throw away expired coupons, you can still make them useful. Although this will cost a little money in stamps to send a package overseas, military families can use these coupons.

Military families living overseas have far fewer opportunities to collect coupons for the food that they eat and often have a difficult time getting coupons at all. Most military stores overseas accept coupons including expired coupons, meaning that coupons you won't use or ones that have expired still can have a life.

The overseas coupon program keeps a list of military bases looking for expired coupons.

Give Excess Vegetables

If you are a gardener, chances are that your garden will end up producing much more than you can eat on your own. The same is probably true if you happen to have fruit trees in your yard.

Instead of letting the fruit and vegetables go bad, pick them and set up a small table with a "Free Fruit and Vegetables" sign in your driveway so that those passing by can stop and partake in your generosity.

You will save them some money while also providing them with quality and healthy food at no cost, allowing them to place the money they would have spent on the fruits and vegetables to something else in their budget.

Leave Books, Magazines and Newspapers Behind

Once you've finished reading a newspaper or magazines, it usually ends up in the recycling bin.
