Postage Stamps Increased! NOW 44c for a Stamp!

Yes, it's true.
United States Postal Service has increased the price of postage stamps AGAIN.

After the 1cent increase in 2008 from 41c to 42c, the price of stamps has risen again. However, this time it is a 2c increase from 42c to
44¢.



From here on out, I recommend ONLY buying the Forever Stamps. These stamps are valid, well, FOREVER. That way you will never send out a bill or letter and have it sent back for insufficient postage. Plus, it looks like there will be another postage increase next year.

NEW PRICES
  • First-class letter (1 oz.) 44¢
  • Postcard is now 28¢
  • Large first-class envelope (1 oz.) 88¢

And for all of you triva junkies, I found a few stories from mental_floss, one of my favorite magazines EVER, to share with you:
