Why not just keep a small stock of stamps and go to the post office as
infrequently as you can, just when you need to top up. Buying an
average
fortnight's worth of stamps ahead of time wouldn't cost any more than
you would spend in the next fortnight anyway and you would save a small
fortune in trips.


I have quite a few poundsworth of stamps in stock. You only need very
slightly fewer than three 1st class ones for one pound ...


So, use the stamps you have in stock and then buy some more.


sigh

What makes you think we don't?

They cost the same whether you buy them a week or two in advance or on a
daily basis you know. :-)


Not if you buy dedicated 1st and 2nd class stamps before the price
increases.
