CHANNEL 8

They repeated last Friday's segment this past Tuesday on their 8:00 show. They'll probably do the same the next few weeks when they air more segments on Fridays at 5:00. On that rebroadcast Wayne Dawson commented that he wouldn't want to be behind me in line. Of course he was referring to all the coupons I would use and the time it would take for the cashier to go through them. That's understandable. I know I wouldn't want to be behind me in line sometimes too. Some cashiers are good about zipping through the coupons while others aren't.

There are some options though to quell their frustration. I usually offer the people behind me in line a bite out of the sausage chub that I bought as a peace offering. Sometimes I will tell them that the line is closed now. Or if they seem like the angry type, I will tell them that the 'give out samples' lady in aisle 8 is pouring free shots of Cognac and if they hurry she was also throwing in free back massages using her elbow.

POSTAGE

Postage rates are going up starting May 14th. Send out all your mail now. Better yet, pay your bills on-line or pre-pay them to avoid paying for postage. The letter rate will go from 39 cents to 41 cents. Shape based packages, rigid mail, and flats will increase in price significantly. They are also offering a 'forever stamp'. The cost is 41 cents and it will last forever. So you can buy 1,000 of them now and 20 years from now it will still be good. Next year the cost will go up depending on inflation triggers, so next year's forever stamp may cost 45 cents. Get 'em now!
