Postage Stamp Price Going Up
The United States postal service has announced that it is raising the stamp prices starting May 12. So the first class postal mail will cost 42 cents instead of 41 cents.
The cost to mail a post card will also go up a penny, to 27 cents. Large envelope, 2 ounces will cost $1, up 3 cents. Money Orders up to $500, $1.05, unchanged. Certified mail will cost $2.70, it is up by 5 cents. First-class international letter to Canada or Mexico, will cost 72 cents, it increased by 3 cents. First-class international letter to other countries will cost 94 cents, which is up 4 cents.

What happened to sending Birthday Cards and what happened to that common courtesy of sending Invitations, RSVPs, and Thank You Notes ?
Some things simply demand Regular Mail !
I am only complaining about the postage cost going up just a penny or two, and causing problems with buying extra stamps, when it could easily be raised more, and much less often.
