Must remember postage rate change today... Though haven't got anything ready to go out, so have time to tax my brain for 1st+ combinations.

I shall probably be picking up more 2nd class than 1st class stamps for this issue.

I'm guessing that the next issue of stamps, Dungeons & Dragons that the main stamp issue is 4 x 1st, 4 x £2.50, and miniature sheet is 6 x 1st

Honestly, 3x US Postcard for international postcards might become my go-to for a bit.

For a postcard I'd agree. A lot of 1st stamps can get to be too big. For letters, I'll probably go with 2 1st plus 2nd oz, just to be able to use the nicer designs of all my 1st class stamps. The 40 is there because I like the recent fox stamp. Unless I'm lazy and just stick an international forever on there. The spreadsheet does reduce the effort, especially if I print it and stick it next to the stamps on the shelf.
I was thinking of mailing little 'cahier' style 30-60 page soft cover notebooks, in either an envelope, bubble mailer, or cardboard mailer. Figuring out the postage was giving me fits. Seemed there was contradictory language in the regulations regarding rigidity. It appears you can be rigid IF under 0.25" thick and under 6.125 tall or 11.25 wide, with only the 46 cent non-machinable surcharge. If between .25 and .5 thick, or bigger than either of the other dimensions, you get forced into $5+ parcel rates instead of the 'large envelope' table. International large envelopes are over $4, too. A cardboard mailer should be thin enough. A regular or homemade envelope, as long as the paper isn't too thin, would work too, though 3.5x5 is the minimum envelope size. That rigidity is defined as 40lb belt tension around an 11" drum makes me think a normal thin-cardboard mailer isn't really rigid. Who knows. If it's not, it'd be same as letter postage.
