S&H Green stamps
« on: August 07, 2020, 09:11:13 PM »
Eagler mentioned  them in another post.

If you know what they are you are old!

Collected them way back when I was a youngster.

Anyone else remember them?  :)

I kind of remember my mom getting those at the store, dont even know if she turned them in.  was actually surprised how fast the cashiers would calculate how many stamps we were given.

Books and books. As the older son, I got the job of lickin' and stickin'. I remember the yellow TV stamps too. We didn't have as many of those though. I don't remember actually redeeming them. Mom must have done that without us.

Oh yes I remember them. Between the gas stations offering glasses good enough to have for a nice dinner table setting and the green stamps having other household items we equipped the kitchen pretty well. Our china also came from gas station "rewards". Keep in mind at that time the price of gas was NORMALLY 18 cents a gallon, and the "gas wars' dropped it down to 15 cents routinely. My Jr and Sr year in HS I worked summer jobs full time and saved as much as possible. I made $5 go for a tank of gas a week along with a quart of oil for my car and paid my own insurance and everything my car needed for the rest of the school year.

Oh man.  I hadn't thought about those in 40 years.

It just kicked a memory cell and I just relived staying with my grandparents for a month in summer and granny took me to Dairy Queen for lunch (I had a Hunger Buster and a Dilly bar ) and then she stopped by the S&H Green Stamp store in Ozona, Texas.

It's amazing how someone could mention a small thing and it unlocks a memory in every little detail of an experience 48 years ago.

Now, if I could only remember where I put my phone down.   :rofl

I remember going to my Grandparents home on Sundays for lunch after church, all the women sat in the kitchen talking about what they were going to do with their "books". The men were outside under the cottonwood trees talking about their latest fishing or hunting trips. My Grandfather would be sitting on the steps, at the back door, watching us kids crank the ice cream churn.....Peach, Strawberry and Banana ice cream!!!!!!!! Now thats a memory!
