The 44 cent stamp won't pay the freight...put a 1 cent stamp on the envelope as well!

As of this morning, it now costs 45 cents to mail a first class letter. So, how do you deal with it?

Go through drawers for unused and long-forgotten postage stamps!  Isn't that almost the same as "free?" It also makes for a colorful envelope that may grab the attention of your letter carrier!

Remember: If the envelope doesn't have 45 cents postage on it...it will come back to you for postage due. But...doesn't it cost the post office more than the 1 cent difference to return the envelope for 1 cent?  Sorry, I digress.
