Postal over postal rates

[Oz_IL]

I just read first class stamps (along with everything else) is going up. Stamps a cent, from 41 to 42 cents. I bought 54 forever stamps, which are still 41 cents and good when the rates go up. Now, do I just spend them or hold onto them until the rates go up for the gadzillionth time

Nothing much to say about them. From what I understand if you buy them at 41 cents(current first class mail stamp) and when postal rates go up, like they will, they still work without any additional stamps required (IE - a penny stamp). In other words, instead of longing stocks, you are longing stamps


I should put a flat of them in my safety deposit box and use them 20 years from now. Then again I am trusting the government to keep true to their word

I bought a few books at $0.39 a stamp. Maybe I'll hold on to them as an investment. I've already made $0.03 a stamp in less than a year!
