Title: Bread and Milk Coupons!
Post by: Michael Alexander on September 25, 2007, 09:27:56 AM
What could you get with your coupons? What were the colours? Remember taking empty egg box's back to the shop and for every 15 you brought back, you got a free dozen!

;D

Mike, i seem to recall black coupons for brown bread and white for white bread or was the white bread coupon another colour, white being for the milk coupons - can't quite remember? Those type of memories are a bit hazy - it was such a part of our life that we took it for granted.

AS kids we used to take a bread coupon and in winter on the way to school get a half loaf that was just out the oven to eat and warm up our hands, mom always wondered where the coupons went to.
