On Sunday, the price of postage stamps increased by one cent. First class stamps now cost 46¢, postcards will need 33¢ worth of stamps, and an international letter will cost $1.10 to send it on its way.

Yep, everything is going up this year.
ReplyDeleteAnd I've noticed that all our products are getting smaller and costing more. Love that photo!
ReplyDeletethank goodness for those forever stamps. Still resonable, except when I have to send out 80 of something!
ReplyDeleteGod bless the Forever stamps and hoarding.
ReplyDeleteThe price of stamps doesn't bother me too much except when I mail out Christmas cards. It adds up quickly!! Love that old photo!
ReplyDeleteWhen I went to purchase stamps recently, the clerk told me the costs would be going up soon. That persuaded me to buy an extra roll of the forever stamps, so I'm good for a while.
ReplyDeleteVery cool photo, Paulette!
