My mother collected the S & H Greenstamps and Yellow stamps, about every six months or so we would drive to the redemption center to trade them in, I remember a pair of lamps for the living room. When my daughters were little, we collected the McDonalds characters plates and glasses. Of course we also had the jelly jars/glasses from the Flintstones. I remember my grandmother collecting dishware from a box of soap powder. And all the stuff that used to come in cereal boxes.
