Do You Remember S&H Green Stamps?

We are all familiar with customer loyalty programs. Reasor’s Foods, Walgreens Drug Stores, Ace Hardware, and other retailers offer Rewards cards or apps that offer discounted prices, on their products, or in the case of Reasor’s Foods, a discount on QuikTrip gasoline. For many years, Warehouse Market had Magic Coins. One coin was handed out for every five dollars spent and was worth ten cents toward a specifically advertised product.


Tradings stamps were another way to entice customers to stay loyal to a merchant, beginning over a century ago and lasting until the 1980s. Although there were several competitors such as Gold Bond Stamps, Gunn Brothers Stamps, and others, the most successful, prolific, and enduring trading stamps were S&H Green Stamps.

There were also grocery store encyclopedias. I know nothing about subjects beginning with M because we missed that week.

Jelly glasses with cartoon characters.

@Mamapolo2016 I thought full of Jelly was the only way you could buy glasses. That was all we had!
@bowman81 There were also those glasses that came in - Tide? - frosted with the gold stencils of wheat…
