POSTAGE


Did you know that postage is going up again from 41 to 42 cents on May 12, 2008? Well, smarty pants, did you know that you NEVER have to pay that increase? NOT EVER!

...
(We could rant about skyrocketing postal costs, but frankly, we still think it's pretty remarkable that we can stick an envelope in a box and get it clear across the country to exactly its intended audience in only a few days. We're pretty pumped that they can read our handwriting. See? For curmudgeons and cheapskates, we are surprisingly easy to please. But we digress. Which is a large part of our considerable charm, or so we are told.)
...
Anyway…Have you heard about the Forever Stamps? The Post Office started selling them before the 2007 rate increase. You buy these stamps at the current rate, and they are good for first class postage FOREVER.
...
No more 1 or 2 cent stamps needed to old stamps after a rate increase happens. Naturally, CHEAPIOSITY stocked up before the 2007 increase, so we'll be ahead 3 cents after May. It may sound like a little bit, but over time, these things add up….In fact, CHEAPIOSITY had better get over to the post office to buy some more before the rates change.
...
You can see what the (FOREVER) Liberty Bell stamps look like on the USPS website, but don't you dare order them online. You'll be charged for shipping and handling. Duh. There goes your savings. ... http://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10152&storeId=10001&productId=29351&langId=-1
