Now is the time to stock up on Forever stamps from the USPS if you want to do it before the price increases.The good news is even if you can’t get to the post office the price is only going up a penny per stamp.That’s more of an annoyance than anything. I always buy forever stamps, but if you have any $0.45 ones laying around you will be charged an extra penny to mail a dang letter.But be honest with yourself, if you are just going to take them home and lose them on your desk under a heap of papers, probably best to save yourself the $4.50 for a sheet of stamps and only buy them when you need them anyway!
