Today's UK Investment Tip
In the UK, an increase in the cost of postage gets advertised several weeks/months in advance of the price change. First and second class stamps are designated as such, ie the monetary cost is not printed on the stamp. Next time a price change is advertised, buy stamps in bulk before the price change and save handsomely.
The recent increase in first class postage was 2p per stamp. A 1000 pound purchase of stamps would give you a healthy 20 pound return on your investment. Keep them beyond the next increase and the return will be even higher.
Clever, huh?
Now I wonder how long it would take for you to use/sell a 1000 pounds worth of stamps? Mmm... quite a while, I should think. Let me check with my colleague who told me about this scheme, having recently done it himself.

oh my, and how many stamps do you get for 1000 pound ? 500 ? someone is taking stingy to the extreme ;)
I can't remember time I used a postage stamp. What with e-mail, sms, IM, etc. 1000 pounds seems a lot of money to spend.
oh my goo'ness... postage stamps still exist!?!????!!!
