When I was getting married, I received from one of my Nana's best friends a box full of books of S&H greenstamps...I remember going thru the catalog to see what I had enough stamps to get. I was about 1 1/2 books short to get a folding card table and 4 chairs, so Nana got on the phone and called a couple of other friends and by the next week I had enough stamps to redeem...Still have the table and chairs, nearly 35 years later.
BTW...I'm older than dirt, too.
