saving stamps with the P.O.

Hi don't know if this is any help or been mentioned before but I've just picked up a starter saving stamp pack at the post office and basically you buy saving stamps at £5 each and put them on the card forcat tax, utility-phone bills,premium bonds etc but the useful part for me is to keep them to exchange for gift vouchers for high st shops. I try to save in seperate bank account but as soon as an unexpected expense comes in I dip into it so not going as well as planned.
I have so many children and grandchildren that I can easily convert them to woolworths vouchers and get quite a lot of the gifts bought there. They have a list of where to be used and unlike certain doorstep lenders no interest.
I hope to have quite a bit put away for the toy sales in the autumn so that'll save a bit.
Car tax will also be sorted yayy
hope this helps someone else like myself that if its not hard cash it doesnt count and stays where it is :rolleyes: :doh:

Also buy these just for the 2 cars tax. It's great as you don't really miss a fiver a week but we would miss £110 when both cars had to be taxed (Sept and Nov)

How do you swap them for shopping vouchers? I know of the road tax stamps but that is all.
