Stamp Price Increase
Hurry up and send all of those letters by Saturday noon because stamp prices are going up on Monday, May 11th.
Yes, the US Postal Service has “gone postal” on us again and will be increasing the price of a regular stamp from $.42 by two cents to $.44. Now it will cost you $.44 to send a regular letter or bill.
You can help to minimize the shock of this if you purchase some “Forever” stamps this week. You pay only $.42 for each stamp, but you can use them forever, no matter how high the price of mailing a letter becomes. And you can save even more money by purchasing your “Forever Stamps” at Costco, because for some reason, you get a bit of a discount on the roll of stamps!
Stamp Out Hunger Saturday

This Saturday is the day that your US Postal Carrier (Mailman- mail-woman- mail-person) will also pick up non-perishable (canned and boxed dry) food for the needy. Put your non-perishable items in a bag and set near your mail box location unless directed to do otherwise. Everyone should receive a notice in their mail today about the annual Letter Carrier’s Stamp out Hunger Food Drive Campaign. Won’t you contribute at least one item on Saturday?
And be sure to mail your Mother’s Day card SOON! Even if you will see her on Sunday, wouldn’t it be fun for her to receive a card in the mail!!
