S@H Green Stamps.... Back in the 1960s (yes we had running water) My mom would collect these stamps like a junkie on Crack Cocaine!!! They had these little booklets that they get from the store, fill them and STUFF! Oh, and don't tell my mom I sad that. :) She might take my that shoe I won!!!

Hey, my Mom got a set of plates from those. In fact, she saved them for a wedding gift to me. Fortunately (they were godawfully ugly) they all broke in the 94 quake...

My paternal grandmother collected S&H green stamps no end. Whatever happened to them?

I remember those! My mother had some from a store called the "Co-op" If I remember correctly, she would turn the full book of stamps in for fuel, which was a big thing in the 70's.

I do remember my mother and grandmother used to save them, along with Big Bear stamps.

My grandparents and parents collected them in Florida, I remember them being issued from Publix Supermarkets and other places until the early 80's or so. I remember helping to lick 'em and stick 'em in the booklets and redeeming them for different items at the S&H store that was located in the shopping center.

Seen them, never used them, know people who collected them. Maybe I shouldn't answer this. I'll give away my age!

I worked at a S&H green stamp redemption center where the merchandise was kept, and given out for books and books of those stamps.
