For those who send optional snail-mail, what would be the maximum amount you'd be willing to spend on a stamp?

Asked by jca2 (16889points) 2 hours ago

I am thinking of this as I sit here with my pile of Christmas cards, ready to go into the mail.

I am using Forever stamps, which, as you probably know, are always good even when the cost of a stamp goes up.

My daughter is 17 now, and I’m getting to the point where I am considering whether or not to continue sending Christmas cards out each year. I may or may not continue it next year. I probably will, but it’s getting iffy. I’m sending out over 60 cards, so it’s adding up.

When I was little, a stamp was 5 cents. When it was up to 25 and 30 cents, mailing a letter was still a relative bargain, considering you could send a letter anywhere within the 50 states for that small amount of money, although we griped about the cost at the time.

I just googled the cost of a stamp, and I see it’s 73 cents. Between the cost of the stamp and the cost of the cards, it’s getting almost prohibitive.

What is the maximum amount you’d be willing to spend on a stamp?

No limit . . my wife makes 55 to 65 handmade cards a month.

One holiday a month like “National Grandparents” day and birthday cards.
