At first I thought I was reading AI hallucinations talk. Are you saying people used to get whole encyclopedias through rewards programs? And it wasn’t a scam??
It wasn’t a scam at all! They also had specials where you could get dishes and silverware sometimes! My mom still has an entire set of blue willow that came from the grocery store in the 80s lol
That sounds really nice. I sometimes wish I could’ve experienced that 80s-90s glow. Where things really seemed beneficial rather than some big ploy for money. I guess it’s always been about the money, we just stopped hiding the fact at one point. I also don’t mean to simplify things, the past has been unkind to many people.
I remember grandmas house had character, everything in it meant something. Everything in my house is from Amazon.

Yeah I remember my parents would get a Muppets glass (like for drinking from) by buying 15 gallons of gas from the gas station. It was a neat time
S&H Green Stamps was one such program. It wasn’t universal, but it was fairly common.
