I saw someone mention this in another thread, but I thought it could use a thread of it's own.

Make sure to go out and buy some http://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10152&storeId=10001&categoryId=18406&productId=29351&langId=-1 to save yourself some cash. I know it's only 1 cent per stamp, but that stuff adds up after a while!

May 12 is my wedding anniversary! It sucks that it has to be associated with a price increase that will affect me! :grumpy: :grumpy: :thumbdown: :cry:
I wish they'd stop raising prices..... it is getting so freakin old!:thumbdown: :grumpy:

There was legislation passed recently that allows the PO to raise postage in May each year by the inflation rate, as long as they give 45 days notice.

The forever stamps are good at the current postage rate...no matter how high postage goes. I personally don't have enough extra cash to stock up enough to make a difference!! No money...no stamps!:cry:
