On Monday 5-11-09 a first class stamp will cost .44. There is STILL time to buy the Forever Stamp at .42 each and you can use them, as they are called, FOREVER. Stock up now!!!! Also, the postage for the second and additional ounces there after remains at .17 per ounce. PLEASE remember that! I get MANY letters with two first class (.42 going up to .44) stamps on them. What a waste of .25 (soon to be .27)!!
