Is everyone aware that the price of stamps will go up this month?  First-class stamps will be 46 cents as of January 22.  Get forever stamps now at the 2012 rate while you still can.

Thanks for the heads up... Although I rarely use stamps anymore, occasionally I will. And since the forever stamps last forever, it's probably best to just get a book of those for those rare occasions when I do need stamps. I love how the cost of stamps is going up, and the IRS won't process taxes till after 1/30th... Coincidence?

That is great I just printed stamps.  That means that I have try and use them all before next week.  I don't think that they should be going up again.  this is happening everytime you turn around.  I don't use a lot but I do use some, I know that businesses still mail things also.  I think they need to do something else because it is going up everytime you turn around.

The rate changes so much that I usually do not know what it is.

I just buy a book of forever stamps (which I believe is the majority of what people buy).

I think postal stamps are the greatest investment ever!  The rate will never go down, only up and the forever stamps are bought at the current rate.  Better get me a bigger storage space!

No but it figures another reason to pay everything online and not have to use a stamp!
