Today’s member spotlights tell us a bit about Shannon in Japan and Amy in Italy.
First Name: Shannon
Where are you stationed? Okinawa, Japan
Size of your family 3 kids ages 9, 12 and 13
How long have you been overseas? 2 1/2 years
Have you always been a couponer or did you start once you were stationed overseas? I have always used coupons but being overseas it helps to save money since the cost of living here is higher than stateside
What is your best piece of advice for anyone newly stationed overseas? Be flexible
First Name: Amy
Where are you stationed? Vicenza, Italy
Size of your family: 3 and a dog
How long have you been overseas? We have been here for 6 months now.
Have you always been a couponer or did you start once you were stationed overseas? I have always tried to be a couponer but since being overseas I am totally into it. Since being in Italy it is hard for dependents to work (due to the SOFA agreement) couponing is a huge part of our life with saving money.
What is your best piece of advice for anyone newly stationed overseas? Know that it is going to be a huge adjustment and come all at once. Get out and be active as soon as possible.
Thanks for taking the chance to learn about a few more of our receiving families. If you are stationed overseas and would like us to put you in the spotlight, please contact us at admin@couponstotroops.com.
