The cost of a stamp goes up 2 cents on Monday.
The measure is meant to help the U.S. Post Service battle its budget shortfalls.
The Express Mail flat rate envelope will increase by a dollar to $17.50. Postcard postage will rise one cent to 28 cents.
International rates will also increase. One ounce letters to Canada and Mexico have been 72 cents. The new rate will be 75 cents for Canada and 79 cents for Mexico. The rate for other countries will increase from 94 cents to 98 cents.
The U.S Postal Service is also asking Congress to stop mail delivery on Saturdays.
This is the third year in a row that rates have gone up in May.
Postal officials estimate the increase will cost the average household about $3 a year.

Lets not get all postal in the cr now
you mods that are still getting your paychecks sent to you, i suggest that you go with direct deposit. the rumor mill has it that for manual paychecks, it it going from weekly to monthly to cut down on the expenses.
“Postal officials estimate the increase will cost the average household about $3 a year.”
I guess they never made weddings, bar mitzvahs, etc…. (we should start e-mailing invitations ;-))
Hmmmmm… If we all switched around our numbers, people would get pretty confused… :}
55 we can flip them upside down!, you could become 22 and 99 could become 66.
25 might have a problem
Did anyone stock up on stamps before the increase took effect? If so, how many did you get?
mods-are you bored today or s/t?
25 & 21 still MIA- even in an all out mod conversation… makes you wonder. Now- back to stamps 😉
All you mods better get back to your posts, or no one is getting paid this week.
This was your last warning.
