Inexpensive return lables/stamp

I'm looking for some inexpensive return lables or a stamp that has my address on it.

I've found iprint.com which has some fancy stamps, but the cost would be around $16 or so. If there was a cheaper alternative, I'd take a look.

Suggestions?

Have you checked www.usps.com? I was looking into to this a long time ago and they had a program you could use to print stamps and tracking numbers and addresses. You just had to make sure you had the correct amount when you took it to the post office. So might need a scale or something.

www.checksunlimited.com has rolls of 250 address stickers for 6.95. I couldn't find the shipping charges listed anywhere though. I've ordered checks from them a few times and have been happy with them.

For a small donation to just about any charity you will have address label to last 10 lifetimes. I've got literally thousands of these labels. They come as 'free' gifts from charities, most that I've never given it and many that I've never heard of. WWF, Habitat, DSF and Nature Conservancy are the charities I usually give to. Doctors Without Frontiers (DSF) sent label just a couple of weeks after I gave (post tsunami) for the first time. So if you don't need the labels urgently why not give to charity and wait a little while?

I totally agree. I must have thousands of labels from different organizations. Every so often when I receive them I stick $1-$3 (depends on how many one-dollar bills I have) in the return envelope, and they keep coming.

Agreed with the charity thing. About three months after we moved, we started getting labels, in my name, my wife's name, both our names, etc. We haven't even given to any charity in over a year, so I guess they get them from magazine mailing lists or what not. I did buy one of those stamps once, for about ten bucks, and that was nice, but never again.
If you have a printer, and just want the flexibility, maybe buy some address label printer paper sticker things, and print off a sheet at a time. Those can be handy for the To: address as well.

I checked out where my current set of free labels came from when I used one this morning. You can request a set online (you'll get a request for a donation with them, of course).
