I know that several of my readers are military members, some stateside, some overseas, and some right here on the same post as us. I have several military announcements that I would like to put out for those of you who are overseas military families and those of you that are right here at Baumholder with us.
The first announcement is for all of you living overseas with the military.
Sometimes living over here is a bit more expensive. The prices at our commissaries are fairly higher than those in the states. And if you’re a couponer, it’s a bit more difficult to receive coupon inserts. After all, we don’t have a local Sunday paper full of them. But did you know that overseas military commissaries accept grocery coupons up to six months after their expiration date. Yes, SIX MONTHS!!!
My friend, Happy Housewife, has a program called Coupons for Troops that matches stateside families with military families living overseas in order to get coupons to them. There are many stateside families that are willing and excited about sending their expired coupons to you. There’s even a waiting list for those wishing to donate. If you are a military family living overseas and are interested in receiving these coupons to use at the commissary (why wouldn’t you be??)…no strings attached, you can read more about the program and sign up here.

This next announcement is for all of my friends in the Baumholder area.
My husband, Chaplain Andrews, is providing a special service this Sunday at Chapel One called Task Force RAM Sunday. He will be delivering the sermon and a volunteer from each of the companies in Task Force RAM will be participating in the service.
We are excited about this worship opportunity for our Task Force RAM family and would LOVE to see you all there! Even if you’re not in TF RAM, this would be a great time to check out the chapel services and worship with us. And I promise, Keith doesn’t preach long!
So, come out to Chapel One at 9:30 on Sunday to worship with us and all of your friends from the 40th Engineer Battalion!

Isn’t that so nice that they do that (mail the coupons) overseas? I actually signed up a few weeks ago. We will see, but I really want to get better at shopping at the Commisary!
As for this Sunday….Bryan and I are planning on attending! Looking forward to it!

I’m trying to get better at using coupons, too. And I am looking forward to seeing you and Bryan on Sunday.

Battering Rams!
