Martin Lewis' Money Saving Expert has urged people to stock up on stamps before a price hike on April 3.
Right now you can pick up first class stamps for 95p and second class stamps for 68p. However, as of next week these rates will rise to £1.10 and 75p respectively.
The money-saving aces urge consumers to 'beat the hike' by acting quickly - and warned of an easy-to-make mistake when picking up stamps, writes the Echo.
