New Postage Rates

On Sunday, January 8th, 2006, the U.S. postage rates increased. The price of a 1 oz. First class letter has risen from .37 to .39 and the price of a postcard from .23 to .24. For a list of all the rate changes see the USPS new rates and fees page. If you don't want to wait on line to buy new stamps you can purchase your stamps online through the The Postal Store. Since I had been caught unprepared for the change and had many .37 stamps left, I stocked up on the nice Navajo jewelry .02 stamps they are selling.
