Default Cost of Stamps

Today a book of stamps costs $11.50 at the Village Pack & Ship in the LaPlaza Grande Shopping Center - that is a service charge of $2.30!

If you have a Citizens First Bank account you can get stamps at the ATM's at your mail box or Publix and Walmart sell them too.

Then don't buy stamps there. You can buy stamps at Publix, Walgreens, or the Post Office.

That's only a 25% gross margin. Probably represents a 2 or 3% profit. Seems very reasonable.

Gotta agree here. A business can't stay in business selling at cost.

Citizens First ATM machines sell them at face value!
