Time to Buy Forever Stamps!

The price of a first class postage stamp will increase from 42 cents to 44 cents effective Monday, May 11th, 2009.

By virtue of its name, the Forever Stamp – which can currently be purchased for $7.56 for a book of 18 stamps – will still be valid for the 44 Cent postage increase and all increases after that! So stock up now and save yourself the hassle of having to buy a bunch of 2-cent stamps!
