OMG, SURE DO. I LIVED IN SYRACUSE NY AND WE HAD A STORE CALLED LOBLAWS AND WE GOT THOSE STAMPS AND PUT THEM IN LITTLE BOOKS AND TURNED THEM IN FOR ALL KINDS OF THINGS AS U SAY. I REMEMBER A DOLL THAT MY MOM GOT ME, WISH I HAD IT TODAY....AND SHE BOUGHT A SET OF BOWLS. HUGE GLASS ONES AND THREE, COLORS WERE YELLOW, TURGOISE AND RED. WOW THIS IS BACK IN TIME....THANKS FOR BRINGING MEMORIES BACK

I remember putting the stamps in the books for my mother. Going to the trade in center was such a trill for us kids. I think every family we knew had cashed in a book of stamps for t.v. trays. They came in a set of 4 and it was so cool to use them to eat dinner on in front of the t.v.

Yes, I remember them. My job was to fill the book for my mom.
I can't remember what she got with them.

Oh my gosh, YES!!! I remember...my mom used to collect them and they even had S&H green stamp stores to redeem, I loved going with her. So....now that you brought this up I have a hilarious story about S&H Green stamps...here it goes... so my mom and dad had a group of friends that all hung out together all the time. One of their friends was a doctor that this whole group went to and took their kids to. The ladies even went to him for their "womanly check ups". One of my mom's friend went in for her check up, while she was waiting in the doctors office, she had to use the restroom, well..she got in their did her business and realized they were out of toilet paper. She grabbed a kleenex out of her purse, all was well. Soon after she was called in to the exam room. She was all ready to go when Doctor Bill came in (remember, they are all friends). He started his examination and burst out laughing...YES...she had a green stamp stuck down there. Must have been in the tissue she used previously. Well I would have been so embarrased had that happen to me, but let me tell you, just about every camping trip after this, the story was re-hashed. I will NEVER forget that as long as I live.

I got my first ever set of canisters with green stamps. I was 17 and was so excited to go into the "green stamp" store and pick out things.

I loved those stamps. We bought many things with them. Some I still have & use today. I purchased 2 footstools we still use in our living room. Everything from bedspreads, to that Sunburst clock, chainsaw, pet taxi's, dishes, cookware, meat slicer, etc. You could get just about anything you could think of, as they had a massive inventory of items available. I often wonder if anyone was ever able to buy the really big ticket items that took thousands of books of stamps. I'm siure I probably still have some stuck in a drawer some where. I was sad when they stopped handing them out. If I had a choice over a discount card or stamps I'd take the stamps. I too am sick of having to carry all these plastic cards, one for each store.

YES!!!!! We were talking about them at my house a couple of weeks ago. My step-daughter is 20 and thought we were nuts. My daughter is 24 and that is how I got her highchair. I remember in the 70's when my parents got an electric ice cream maker, sure beat having to take turns with the old hand crank. lol By the way they still have it and use it!

I remember them. My mom used to get all kinds of things with them. I remember sitting on the floor with a wet washrag wetting the stamps and filling the books. That was 'my job'. by the ay, I still use a chenille bedspread in the summertime because it's so lightweight. Oh dear, I am gettin old. Sigh. :-)

I clearly remember those as a little kid and the Texas Gold Stamps (similar to S&H stamps)
