Most of us don't use "snail mail" as much as we used to, but don't forget, the price of a stamp has gone up yet again.  The price of first-class stamps went up Sunday to 46-cents.  Forever stamps bought at lower prices, of course, are still valid.  Another change, postcards now cost 33-cents to mail.

The postal service now offers a "global forever stamp" for $1.10. It's good for first-class mail to anywhere in the world.  The price for priority mail is increasing, but free tracking is now being offered.

A single book of "Forever" stamps will last me a year... Its still a fair price if you ask me... how else would you get something hand carried across the country for less than 50 cents?
