A WORLD OF STAMPS. Green Stamps was the best known, but there were many other brands of trading stamps in the 1960s. If you shopped at Piggly Wigglyâs, for instance, youâd get Greenbax, at A&P youâd get Plaid Stamps, at Kroger youâd get Top Value Stamps, and so on.Stamps came in a rainbow of colors, too: Orange, Yellow, Red, Pink, Blue Chip, K&S Red, Triple-S Blue, Plaid, Gold Bond, Merchant Green, and World Green, to name a few.hese days almost every retailer has some kind of loyalty program-frequent flyer miles, grocery store club cards, even low-tech cardboard punchcards at the local sandwich shop. But 100 years ago it all started â¦with trading stamps.
For example, A&P had its own program called âPlaid Stamps.â If you lived in a town large enough to have more than one supermarket, you tried to make all your purchases at the store that gave out the kind of stamps you were collecting. Women would trade different kinds of stamps among themselves.upermarkets, some of the 5&10 chains, gas stations and some shops gave out the stamps every time you made a purchase. They came in denominations of one, ten and fifty. We got most of our Green Stamps from the grocery store.
