With the price of a 1st class stamp going up from 46 pence to 60 pence, how many do you think it is worth buying before the increase?

If you buy a book of stamps from any outlet that sells them, all they have on them is 1st as well as her Mags photo

I was thinking of buying loads and then selling them after the increase. Can you pay for your shopping at Tescos with stamps?

30% profit. Even more on second class stamps.

I usually only use 2nd class and buy them about 100 stamps at a time but be careful royal mail might "change" the design and put a time limit on using up older stamps although I cannot see the point of this because a million people going out and buying up to £100 worth of stamps would be a very nice interest free financing package
