POSTAGE UP AGAIN

I don't know where I have been lately. I guess I should read the paper or watch the news! I just saw that stamps went up $.01 today! So..a first class stamp is now $.42. You will have to run out and buy $.01 stamps. UNLESS you were smart and have only purchased forever stamps! Forever stamps are the same price as regular stamps, but the price is guaranteed forever. You can use them no matter what the cost of postage is. I am vowing to myself here and now that I will only buy forever stamps so I will never have to had a 1 cent stamp to my postage again :)

Forever stamps are the exact stamp you see pictured of the libery bell. They say forever stamp on them and do not have a price of postage on them because they will be good forever! They are the same cost as whatever the going rate is for postage, so it is smart to only buy forever stamps from now on because you will never have to worry if you have the right amount of postage. Hope that helps!

And yes..you can buy them still. they have been for sale for about a year now..it had nothing to do with the recent raise in postage.
