Of course you don’t. No-one sends letters anymore.
But let’s just suppose that you did need to send a letter.
And that you were unlucky enough to be in the United States of America, under the control of Adolf Trump and his evil minions.
Sending a letter is going to cost you an absolute minimum of $0.78.
78¢. That seems a lot to send a letter.
Thankfully, here to help is website Postal Arbitrage. They’ve compiled a list of things that you can order via Amazon which cost less than 78¢ to send.
But how does that help?
If you want to send a letter to someone, how will sending them a 25¢ lime substitute for that?
Because included in that price is a gift message. And so rather than sending a boring old envelope with a bit of paper inside, why not rather organise for a LA MODERNA, Vermicelli Pasta, 7 oz (Pack of 1) | Enriched Durum Wheat Semolina | Kosher, Non-GMO, Iron and Vitamin-Fortified | Thin Vermicelli Noodles for Soups, Broths, and Quick Meals to be delivered, and include your message on the attached gift tag?
They get the message (and the noodles), you save 28¢.
