It would be interesting to compare how many stamps it took to buy an item in the 60s with how many points it takes to buy a like item today.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-82780862067957443502011-04-01T12:04:53.251-05:002011-04-01T12:04:53.251-05:00Damn!

But $1.20 for 1,200? Sounds like they decreased in value! <br /><br />Now, if only they still had the cool stuff in their catalog!!!1950s Atomic Ranch Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460669868967006928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-78662666370537355572011-04-01T07:28:42.209-05:002011-04-01T07:28:42.209-05:00I had NO idea they were still valid.

When I was first married and perpetually broke my mom and aunts would give up their green stamps, which I dutifully stuck in booklets - it bought our whole Christmas one year! Thanks for the happy reminder.DearHelenHartmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191525904664350294noreply@blogger.com
