S&H Green Stamps

Well kiddo, S&H Green Stamps were these things that people used to get when they shopped at certain stores. They were little green pieces of paper with pictures of different things on them, like a TV or a car.

When you collected a lot of these stamps, you could stick them in a book and trade the book for cool stuff. It was like a game where you did your regular shopping, but you also tried to collect as many stamps as you could to get prizes.

There were all kinds of things you could get with these stamps, like toys, kitchen gadgets, and even trips! People really liked collecting these stamps because it was like a fun treasure hunt that rewarded you with prizes in the end.

But now, we don't really use these stamps anymore because there are other systems in place that give people rewards for shopping, like loyalty programs or discounts. But it was a fun way for people to save up and get cool things back in the day!
