Cheap Stamps

[maggiebee]

Someone mentioned in the Post Office today that pensioners can get stamps at last year's prices. Has anyone heard of this and if so, what to you need to qualify?

I thonk you have to be on certain benefits/pension credit. But check on the website for details

I think its limited to people in receipt of a benefit and the amount of cheaper stamps you are entitled to is limited

Not that this helps you any, but the other day, I went into my local discount shop, and asked if they sold single stamps (I only wanted 2). He had a rummage round in his till drawer thingy, and plucked a couple out, shrugged and said "sell ya these 2 for 50p???) I was stunned that they were so cheap, better yet, when I got home, i'd somehow acquired four...for the grand sum of 50p!!

yes there is a leaflet at your local p.o that tells you who is entitled to claim I got 36 2nd class stamps and they said I saved over £5, for which I am grateful.
