Just a quick note, if you are on any benefits then you can get discounted stamps from the Post Office over the Christmas period, oh dear, did I say that word......xmas!!
Information came from a leaflet dropped through the letter box, so it must be true!

We got our leaflets today too but it's not ALL benefits - just Pension Credit, ESA and Incapacity Benefit. They will be at last year's prices. Just google it for more details.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Thanks for that info Airwave. I shall not benefit but I did buy loads of second class stamps before the increase so cards are and will be sent, at christmas time too. I think it is now the time for me to cull my christmas card list though and send some electronically especially to those that I do not wish to delete but only hear from once a year and then enclosing no news.

Regarding xmas cards, I suppose you're looking at a cost of about £1 each, at least including cards, envelopes, stamps and travel to postbox.
The Post Office sure know how to kill off their seasonal trade and downgrade their own business don't they!0 -
No cheaper stamps for me I'm afraid and I'm always moaning about the cost of postage. I've always thought Royal Mail could reduce the cost of stamps at Christmas as thousands and thousands of cards are posted and they must be making a profit out of us. I can remember the days when locally the Scouts would post cards for a donation. Does anyone else remember this?

I stock up on stamps just before the price increases. I also send as much stuff as possible by email. So I've still got a couple of Christmas stamps left from last year! I reckon I could give Scrooge a few tips on thrift!0
