First class stamps 10p price rise

2nd class rise is 2p. Decide before the 4th of April how many more stamps you will need for years. Buy them with cash to avoid being tracked by barcode.

Obviously you should buy barcoded stamps with your cash.

Given that about 10% of parcels sent to me by the likes of DHL and Yodel go missing, I think the prices charged by Royal Mail are a bloody bargain.
