2. US Postal wants us all to be collectors

I can remember when I used to go in a buy a book of 50 stamps and it wasn't that expensive. But the price kept going up and I didn't use stamps that often, so I started buying 20 at a time.

Now the price is ridiculous - compared to 20 years ago. Who needs that many stamps? When I go to the Post Office I might buy 4 or 5 stamps and that's it.

I'm sure everyone else is doing the same. It doesn't pay to buy those stamps because I'll LOSE them before I'll USE them.
