oldiegirl Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 i can remember greenshield stamps. i used to be the one licking them to put in the books when I got married my mother in law worked at the greenshield stamp depot most of my wedding presents came from her as they could purchase at a reduced rate. after 38 yrs the only thing still remaining is a butter dish. it has lasted far longer than my marriage did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxofe Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 i used to be allowed to keep the co-op stamps and after hours of sticking them in the books was then allowed to use them for my xmas shopping at the S&E co-op. must have been late 70's early 80's.

kerleytops Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 My dad got them with petrol and gave them to me. I got all sorts with them. Does anyone remember S and H stamps? Think they were pink and S and H stood for Sherry and Hutchinson but probably wrong there. I still have a shopping bag bought with Silk Cut coupons in the 70's.
