There is nothing more exciting than postal rate changes [well, other than changes in the IRS phase-out of the Alternative Motor Vehicle Credit]. Effective today [May 14], the United States Postal Service has a new rate structure. First class letters now cost $0.41 for the first ounce, $0.17 for each additional ounce. Oh, happy day.
You can find out more information about the new pricing structure on the USPS website.
The Post Office is also selling a new "Forever" stamp. For 41 cents, you get a stamp that is guaranteed to be accepted forever, even if there are future rate increases. So stock up!
