OMG, I haven't thought about Green Stamps (S & H Green Stamps, IIRC)
in years. I do recall my mother sitting one of us sibs down from time
to time with a passle of stamps to lick and put into a paper booklet.
When full, you could trade it in for *stuff*. I also recall being in
the checkout when someone, usually a guy, would offer his Green Stamps
to us b/c he didn't collect them. You'd have thought my mother had won
the lottery!
