Postal increase begins Monday
The post office will get an extra 2-cents worth when you mail a letter starting next week.

The U.S. Postal Service said the price of a first-class stamp will rise to 44 cents on Monday.

Forever Stamps will continue to sell at the current 42-cent rate until the increase occurs. They will remain valid in the future regardless of rate hikes.

What's funny about this is fuel costs are down now. I'm not sure they actually need this raise.

The more they raise the price the less letter mail there seems to be going out, which of course means the more price increases yet again! LOL
