Haha NewLifestyle, what a trip back in time. We should start a whole new thread for all the memories.
S&H green stamps, and Plaid stamps. Oh so many memories. But many people gone from back then. 
Green stamps? Are those like the grocery store stamps that went in the little booklets to redeem? My Mom made me lick them all to stick in the books, I'm so glad stamps are sticky now, that was pretty gross!
Yep and the "gifts" we got to redeem were fabulous. We always had a water pad bottles to help our parents and grandparents put the in the little booklets instead of licking them.0 -

I never tasted sherbet until I got to NZ. Not a favourite. My friends LOVED it and giant sherbet straws too. Drank my first Spider there too - the Coca Cola + ice cream float1 -

Ya know, it's was and still is super HARD to find a "good" sherbet. I didn't and don't like most sherbets either. The sherbets I LOVED didn't taste thick nor super sweet, but tasted very thin and not that sweet with a wee bit of tartness to it. Most all of the sherbets sold in grocery stores are the kinds of sherbet I didn't/don't like (thick and super sweet with very little if any tartness=NO). The sherbet's I used to love came from certain ice cream parlors and hand-made. I haven't found a terrific sherbet is YEARS!
Also, I did like coke floats FAR BETTER than root bear floats, but would take a ginger-ale float over them all.1 -

Never had the opportunity to try quality hand-churned ice cream parlour blends of sherbet. 🍨
That makes absolute sense to me now. I initially thought sherbet to be overly sweet, tart and chalky. It was often served at their homes, out of store bought containers of sherbet. I could never get excited like my friends for it, often opting for a piece of fruit back then.

I have a few favorites from when I was a kid - tuna noodle casserole. My mom's meat pie. Blackberry cobbler made with blackberries I'd picked from the massive bushes on the side of the road. Thimbleberries and salmonberries. And my mom knew how to fry an egg like no other - all crispy on the edges and soft in the yolk. It was the best when we used to save our own bacon and meat grease in a can by the stove. She was pretty good with whole wheat pancakes too.2

I just got jealous of your childhood. Salmonberry pies with dollops of cream ( my sister k8eekins would add custard to it too with cream on top) ... Thimbleberry jam ... Omg!

Reminds me of swim practice growing up... we'd get them after and eat in the car on the ride home. Ahh... nostalgia. Haven't had in forever. Love that they are individual portions!0 -
