The mail brings nice things sometimes

September 10th, 2006 at 05:20 pm



Yeah I know most of the time its just crap. This time it was a charity request for a donation. Opened it and the loveliest collection of return address stickers. Waste not want not right? Thanks charity! I don't do my giving via mail requests but I won't waste these either.

Oh and I just "reclaimed" $6.74 cents in uncancelled postage! A few minutes in a bowl of water to free them from the old envelopes and when I go to use them a swipe of the ole glue stick and they'll work good as new Smile

    You do know that using used stamps, cancelled or not, is illegal, right? It is a federal offense, just like mail tampering, in the U.S. and I think in Canada as well.

    LuckyRobin, Do ya really feel this is wrong or are you worried yummy might get sent to the clink? Either way I've gotta disagree.
    Not cancelled=not used, and there is no way to prove otherwise. I think yummy is smart to save wherever she can.

    My latest- best freebie was a "Senseo" coffee maker & 18 pods. It's amazing what you can get for free if you look in the right places. Dave and Thomas popcorn sent me a sample too- 4 oz. and it was the yummiest popcorn I've had in my life. I've also gotten quality (gillette, Schick) shavers. My husband remains in awe of what we have delivered to our mailbox. =) (grin)
