From the news this morning. This will hit our budget, we still use the mail regularly.
Let's see. 100 stamps over the year, $.03 per stamp, comes to an additional $3.00. That's one and a half double espresso over at StarBucks.
I think $0.49 is an amazing bargain. Still, those forever stamps are alluring so I'll go buy a hundred or so. Starbucks will not benefit from our thrift, but I'm sure we will find a way to use the extra cash we are saving.
The cost of first-class postage stamps is going up by 3 cents — but only until the Postal Service makes up losses that it has estimated it accumulated during the recession. The increase — to 49 cents from 46 cents — will go into effect on Jan. 26.
