So on May 14, the cost of a USPS stamp is going up from 39c to 41c for a first class letter.

The really crazy thing about this is that I am still tacking 1 and 2 cent stamps to my 37c stamps. Pretty soon, my envelopes will just be a line of stamps across the top!

The interesting thing though is this "forever stamp" they are introducing. You can lock in the rate at the current price and it will still be good if the price goes up, because the price will not be indicated on the stamp itself. Too bad my 37c stamps are not "forever stamps"!
