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.

OMG!!! We'd spend weekends putting stamps in the books then take them to the S&H store in the Buttonwoods plaza. We still have the airplane wall hangings we bought with them! NICE ONE SSgt Private RallyPoint Member !!!

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.
