What is the new price of stamps now that then new increase is in effect?”
Starting today, the price of stamps increases from 42 cents to 44 cents. For the third year in a row the Post Office has had to increase the price of postage and other mailing services to combat decreasing revenue due to people switching to online payments for bills and an overall decline in marketing-related mail (catalogs, junk mail, promotional mail, etc). However, if you invested in the Forever stamp (shown below), then you don’t have to worry about buying those pesky 1ยข stamps to make up the postage difference. You’ll notice the Forever stamp doesn’t have a value assigned to it, so this type of postage can be used–even if you purchased it at the 42 cents price.
