He found a stuffed bear & asked very loud, do we have enough food stamps to get this. My parents were very embarrassed and Shawn still has that bear today. Thanks for bringing up old memories!<br />November 3 at 7:24pm <br /><br />Angela Broomfield Reeder I remember Green Stamps!! Jamie and I had collected enough at one point to go to the redemption store. We couldn't decide on what we wanted, until we saw something we both just HAD to have... bowling ball bags. However, we didn't have bowling balls. Needless to say, we eventually found bowling balls to go in our bowling ball bags :-)<br />November 3 at 7:35pm <br /><br />Lorrie Hunt Davis i never got to redeem the stamps in my favor! i didnt know that was an option! lol! my mom always bought dishes or clocks with ours! but my sister and i were the elected officials also for stamp licking. ahhh...to be young again!!<br />November 3 at 7:36pm <br /><br />Lydia Blalock Butler I have a jade necklace purchased with hard earned green stamps!!!
