I wanted to add a little note of clarification about the “additional ounces” – something I wasn’t aware of when I initially emailed in.
The USPS does have “Additional Ounce Forever Stamps” available. I wasn’t aware of them since I never use them!
The $0.15 Additional Ounce Forever Stamps can be pre-ordered now but aren’t available till Jan 27. Or, you can buy $0.21 Additional Ounce Forever Stamps now (but those will drop in value on Jan 27).
A good investment and a saving of 10% over what will soon be the standard price. It is certainly an example of where the “real” rate of inflation is .
I have a supply of stamps already, but it never hurts to have more. They will all eventually be used.
My 92 year old father in law loves to use snail mail especially celebratory cards, with so many kids, grandkids and great grandkids along with many friends he goes through a lot of stamps. Even tho he is more than able to afford them he still appreciates it when I send him a book of stamps for part of his Christmas gift. Thanks for the reminder, I thought they were already raised, I’m on my way to the local post office.
Thanks for the heads up
Amen! I saw this coming and bought $500 worth. I am set for life. JWR, you may be getting some of them in future years for the 10 cent challenge 🙂
Snowing at the moment but will definitely go tomorrow to buy a big supply. It fits right in with the food stockpile mentality – cheaper to buy it now while the prices are lower, for later use. I will also order a small supply of the additional-ounce Forever stamps while I’m there. Thanks guys for the tip!
Just a note, I remember a few years ago they quietly unannounced that they lowered the price of postage thus monetizing they’re debt. Sneaky! If they do this again after this increase I would describe that as something other than sneaky.
You can order stamps online and they will be delivered via mail. No trip to the post office!.
And you have a much wider selection to choose from than you can usually find at the local Post Office.
The ones I picked this time are a set of fanciful dragon stamps.
I went Friday and the USPS clerk said they were running low (I live in town of 1500). I spread the word to the neighbors.
I have been buying my book of stamps at the
Supermarket for at least 2 decades. If you
don’t need groceries just use their customer
service desk.
