Pluggers by Rick McKee for April 09, 2023

Saves a trip to the post office or to any store that has stamps, right?

If the stamp says “FOREVER”, it’s never out of season.

Happy Easter, pluggers!

Stamps? Posts? Eh nobody me knows even sends wishes by post anymore.

That is why the stamps are called Forever ;-) Happy Easter To All !

A vintage Plugger still laments the disappearance of penny postcards.

I’ve already used Halloween stamps in summer.

Pluggers still use stamps on letters and cards.

I’m still using stamps I bought over eight years ago. At my rate, I’m good for life.

Bought a bunch of rolls just before the last rate hike. Should last me another year or so.

Used to be it took 2 rolls of stamps for Christmas, now as the card list withers from age and disease, its 2 Christmases to a roll.

I’M still using the book of 20 Forever stamps I bought 5 years ago! Turns out they were aptly named! The increase in postage means they have a better return than my 401K!

Pluggers are about the only ones still using snail mail…

I bought 20 Charlie Brown Christmas stamps about 10 years ago, and just finished using all of them. Pretty much the only reason I use stamps at all is, for the same reason I still write checks – my dentist bills me twice a year and doesn’t take credit cards.

And they are not even last Christmas’ stamps!

I’m still using Xmas stamps next Xmas

Got that right they’re forever

Yeah… I still use ’Christmas" stamps after the Holidays.

The Christmas stamps I now buy are simply a winter scene, for example the otters playing in snow series, winter scenes of a barn, bluejay, horses pulling a wagon, etc. Nothing particularly of the holiday, so very usable throughout winter…if anyone cares. :-)

My departed mom was a collector. I’ve got hundreds of sheets of stamps from the 60’s, 70’s & 80’s that our local coin & stamp shop said are worth face value. So now I cobble together the correct postage from them whenever I need to mail something. My kids kids will have stamps if they ever need them.

Buy from Costco. Save the leftover Christmas stamps for next year.
