Stamp Prices Go Up: Did You Stock Up?

First-Class Mail and postcard stamps both increase by a penny on Sunday.

It seems like prices are going up on everything these days, and the U.S. Postal Service is following suit.

The price for First-Class Mail single-piece letter and postcard stamps rises by one cent to 46-cents and 33-cents respectively Sunday.

New 46-cent "Forever" stamps will allow customers to mail letters to any location in the United States. But old 45-cent "Forever" stamps will continue to be honored.
