    I remember those! My grandmother used to collect them. I don't remember what she got with them, but I know she got some things. She raised my Dad as a single mom in the 1930's so she just loved coupon programs like this.

    Oh yes,

    Green Stamps were the nicest things and even licking that nasty glue was worth it!

    Yes, I also remember them... I also had a chenille bedspread, White and I loved it. Had it for many years and enjoyed making my bed so odd, but so true. I enjoyed helping mom place the stamps on the card. So many years ago :)
