I got some gift vouchers for Christmas and thinking what to buy reminded me of the excitement me had as kids going to spend them after Christmas, in those days it was just book tokens and record tokens. I remember getting 50p record tokens when singles cost 49p

i remember going into Woolworths (i miss that shop) and buying cassette tapes for 49p when a CD single was £1.99, or £2.99 if you wanted to watch the music video on a computer

haha.. my very first encounter of savings tokens of any description was at primary school for a book club, paid 50 pfening (lived in Germany and thats where my first encounters were with money were) and that would get me a sticker in a little book..

could buy things like Rubbers, Sharpeners, ink cartridges, fountain pens (oh how i loved my fountain pens) but if you were flush and had loads of stickers in your book you could buy books.

Id always spend my stickers though and was rubbish with saving lol

Yep. I have no idea how much it was but my first single was bought with a record token it was "Cinderella Rockafella" by Esther and Abi Ofarim. I think it was 1968 , my brother got "The Mighty Quinn" at the same time
