..and I usually use the rural envelopes to leave for my mail person to bring my stamps to my mailbox. This week I went in to the PO and the counter person clued me in to the Forever stamp. Pay your 41 cents a stamp now and the stamps are good for...forever! Even with postage increases. I have no idea how the post office can do this but.....I am glad. I don't have to go in a buy x number of y cent stamps every 6 months so I can use my old ones!!!!

We switched to those awhile back and they really are a good thing.

Just be sure you're buying the "forever" stamps as they'll try to sell you the specific denomination ones; also, our po is limiting the number you can buy from the machines ... once postage goes up, the forever stamps will then cost the new postage amount -- it just saves on them having to reprint stamps every few months.

I guess I am the one who is behind the times here.

Dh tells me they have been around for awhile. And I have had them before. But I guess never knew.
I think I am going in to buy a large amount my next trip to the PO.
I guess the savings on reprint fees, when prices go up, helps if there is no denomination on them. That makes a little more sense to me. I don't have to worry as much about our USPS going under

Didn't it just recently hit .41? What's the new price?

Anne, don't feel bad. Obviously I'm living under a rock -
