Weird stuff you remember from your mis-spent yoot

[Jolly Roger VX'er]

this thread has jarred something else loose in my skull......any of you remember some kind of stores that you took "stamps" that you accumulate from regular store purchases and you would fill in a sort of stamp book that once you had so many pages filled you could "cash" them in for certain items in the "stamp-store"???????

I was pretty young (prolly like 5-6) and I remember Mom taking me into this "stamp-store" and picking out an item that could be had for sufficient "stamps".




P.S.- Not to be confused with food stamps.

S&H green stamps were used around this area, as well as some sort of stamp with "GOLD" in the name...maybe Gold Bond Stamps?

That jar anything loose?

There was blue chip stamps also. You got them with grocery purchases and could get some really cool chit! I think 99% of my grandfathers camping equipment came from there!

Justin, that is *quite* a list of experiences...

Makes a lotta sense now, knowing you.

That's kind of what I remember...my Mom getting them from grocery purchases...sticking them into a "booklet" and depending on how many you had accumulated dictated their "worth". The "stamp store" (IIRC the stamps were gold) had all kinds of neat stuff like camping gear.

That's it...I know what I'm ask'in Mom the next time we chat..lol.
