Martin Lewis' Money Saving Expert website has urged all Brits to stockpile a 68p household item before Monday April 3. The warning comes days before price hikes will see the cost of the commonly-used essential rise.

While stockpiling is not usually encouraged, the Money Saving Expert says stocking up on stamps could save people a considerable amount of money.

From Monday April 3, the cost of stamps is set to rise in the UK. First-class stamps will rise from 95p up to £1.10 - a difference of 15p.

The price of second-class stamps is also set to increase from 68p up to 75p - making for a 7p increase.

Are Rangers right to rage over Parkhead calls and is the Hampden heat now on Michael Beale? Monday Jury

KEITH JACKSON: Yes. Unfortunately, Kevin Clancy simply isn't up to the job. But when his VAR is even less competent then what chance does the guy have? The decision to chalk off the Alfredo Morelos 'goal' reflects horribly on our officials. DAVID McCARTHY: Absolutely. Morelos' goal should have stood and the first goal in these games are almost always crucial. MICHAEL GANNON : Rangers are entitled to feel hard done by. The ruled out goal was harsh but the ref’s view made it understandable. They had a decent case for a penalty but there was no sign of handball for the second. FRASER WILSON: Most weeks some club or other will contact the SFA over a refereeing decision or two. What good it does I’m not sure. The Morelos disallowed goal was harsh as both players had hands on each other. But I can’t see anything wrong with Celtic’s second goal.
