STAMPS 6.7% or 9.5% tax free savings

Royal mail stamps are going up on 3rd april. I have just invested a stack of money in 1st and 2nd class stamps direct from royal mail. The stamps have no price on them and therefore are equivalent to tax free interest of 6.7% on 1st class and 9.5% on 2nd class

I probably have enough for 3-4 years and there are bound to be even bigger savings during the years following april 2006

    Your return wil be of course less the cost of paying for the stamps, which will not earn you anything anymore.
    Money can be used for a lot of purposes what use is a load of stamps unless you stick them on an envelope?
