"Royal Mail has started publicising a scheme to sell Christmas stamps at last year's prices to people on benefit.

Customers in receipt of Pension Credit, Employment and Support Allowance or Incapacity Benefit will be able to buy 36 first and second class stamps at 2011 prices - 46p and 36p.

Stamp prices increased to 60p and 50p in April."

That's fine... but if they were to take up the offer as it stands it would cost them £29.52, I dont think I could afford that much in stamps at one go.

There will be only my nearest and dearest and a couple of close friends that will get a Xmas Card from me this year, my pension won't stretch to that either. Exclamation
