Postage Stamps

Since postage rates are likely to go up early next year, I decided to order some Forever stamps today, I was pleased to see that they had the Peanuts stamps back available, for those who might be interested.

Sounds like a good plan to stock up before prices increase yet again.

@Krimpette and everyone,

I read January 22 for postal increases. I received the Peanuts stamps yesterday, they are soo cute.

Good idea. I bought Forever stamps 7 years ago and I used the last one in September. It's 2022 and we really don't use snail mail anymore. Pretty much just for the few Christmas and Birthday cards we send to out of state family. I will buy more but I don't care about what they look like.

@Krimpette , thank you so much! I love Peanuts and everything Snoopy. I just purchased some of the Peanut stamps, they also had some cute little elf stamps for the holiday season so I picked up those too. In addition to those, I also purchased the "Happy Birthday" stamps. I still mail a lot of birthday cards so I thought that would make the envelope look festive. Thanks again!!

@BunSnoop I'm right there with you on the Happy Birthday stamps! I also use the Celebration stamps. I couldn't resist the Otters in the Snow stamps for wiinter cards when I want to deviate from the Happy Birthday stamps!

My sister had nine kids who now are married with kids of their own. I make cards for all the birthdays, so I, too, have many birthday cards to send all year!

I can't wait to get the Peanuts stamps. I had checked a couple of weeks ago and the were no longer available. Glad they got more in. They sure look cute!

These stamps, Snowy Beauty, go on sale this coming Tuesday, the 11th.

Or you can pre-order them on the post office's website now.

Okay, that does it for me. I'm going to insist that my mailman place my mail in the right darn mailbox.

Why is it, that the more they raise prices, the poorer the service seems to be? They just don't seem to care.

Oh well, glad for the price hike head's up. I'll pick up some forever stamps.

I did get my Peanut stamps and just love them . I always order from USPS as our local post office never seems to have special ones. Then I wonder maybe I’m too late going there.

I love stamps and enjoy getting new ones that I like. I always try to match my stamp for the person I am sending it to, meaning something they would like. I know not everyone cares but I do! I just received a Birthday card and the sender used a Christmas stamp! I had to wonder about that but I was just happy to get the card!!

I always get a chuckle whenever I hear that USPS commercial with the Johnny Cash tune playing, "Ive been Everywhere Man" and I gotta say outloud, "except the RIGHT mailbox!" As I think of me re-delivering all the incorrect mail that belongs to my neighbors that was in my mailbox....

Me too @Krimpette . I have a thread in here about it but it went haywire with politics. The forever stamps go from .60 to .63 January 22nd. That's already a given and not a likely......it's going to happen.
