Do you send letters? How about mailing bills? It’s best to stock up now on forever stamps. The price is going up on Sunday. Currently, a Forever stamp costs 63 cents. But it won’t stay that way for long: On July 9, 2023, the price will increase by approximately 5.4%, to 66 cents, the USPS announced earlier this year. While they blame the price increase on inflation, part of the problem is digital. People send mail and pay bills online. They no longer need stamps.
Again?
