Ditch that bulky and expensive Pitney Bowes machine.  Not only do they charge you for the machine and stamps, they also charge you a monthly fee for the privilege of using their service.

Instead, go for the DYMO LabelWriter Twin Turbo system instead.  You simply buy the machine and that’s it.  There is no toner to buy, only the label rolls.  It works on some futuristic thermal printing technology that doesn’t require toner.  The stamp program that accompanies the machine is through Endicia.  There is no cost for using the service, only the cost of stamps.

For a little bit extra, if you’re feeling the need to splurge, also buy the DYMO scale that connects via USB so you won’t have to manually input the weight of your letters or packages.  The scale automatically weighs it and calculates the postage for you!
