Not quite as bad as gas, but stamp price going up, too

There are two reasons to mail your Mothers’ Day card on time:

1) It will make you look good

2) If you wait until Monday, you’ll have to pay more.

That’s because come May 12, the price of first-class mail stamps is going up –– again –– to 42 cents.

It was just a year ago that prices skipped from 39 cents to their present-day 41-cent price.

The “Forever” stamps, introduced last year for 41 cents, will still work for first-class mail. And the U.S. States Post Office says it has 5 billion of them in stock, available for 41 cents until Sunday, which will be good beyond the rate change.

There are rate changes across the board; to see them all, visit the USPS Web site.
