    I guess it is time for me to either buy a ton of forever stamps or just start paying most of my bills on-line since that is the only reason I use stamps.

    Yep, I saw that too!!! I am going to buy some Forever stamps, mainly for mass mailing times like Christmas. I understand that costs go up, but they need to understand that sooner or later they are going to price themselves right out of the market.

    I bought a book of stamps today. The forever ones.
    Currently I am using 6 stamps a month. Not bad.

    I'll be buying a coil of the forever stamps. I'm not surprised that they're increasing again given the economy and the rising prices of everything these days.

    Not surprised at all. Glad I don't use many stamps and have a few Forever stamps.
