Just out of curiosity, How much does it cost you per month to buy stamps, envelopes, and all the other essentials?
Thanks, AutoMasta :D

Usually around £15 or so, and that's me sending out around 20 requests a month.

Good question but i think it varies for everyone because its not like there is a endless supply of people you can send to whos autographs you want,eventually you sort of run out of people to write to at agencies and management companies and then just go with VV as they are available so it varies alot for me anyways. One month i could send out 15 requests and others 1 or 2 but i can tell you i rarely send more than 1 per week and each request costs me about 5 dollars for postage and supplies. {up} [ca]

Here is what I came up with. Also I could've saved some money ordering from Amazon on the paper and ink, but I try to shop local when I can cause I want my stores to be there when I need them. So maybe not the smartest shopper but a little more here and there dont bother me too much.

Bought my first supplies like Jan 28th. Sent first request on Feb 1st. So right at 6 and 1/2 months:

374 4x6 Envelopes: $22.44
97 9x12 Envelopes: $13.00
97 10x13 Envelopes: $15.00
100 Sheets of HP Advance 9x12: $70
5 HP Black Inks: $65.00
8 HP Color Inks: $104.00
859 .44 Stamps: $377.96
Printing Paper for letters: $2.00
So that total comes to: 668.40 in 6 and 1/2 months

So $102 per month on average.

It also comes out to $2.35 per request at 284 requests.

I think all those numbers add up right, just did it real quick on a work break

That number will drop very soon though. I only try to write people I'm actually a fan of, or a show they were on that was on my of favs of all time. So I douby I spent another $600 in the next year even

The first I bought was the 5 Star ranking. It was like $22 for 20 sheets, but then I had to get some late one night, and BestBuy around here closes at like 9, so I ran in WallyWorld and got a 50 pack of the 4 star ranked for like $20, and both seem about the same, yet I get double in the ones Wal-Mart carries. But I think the 5 star don't fade as easy.
