USPS regular mail stamps pricing going DOWN! - Page 2

I'm one of those 'dinosaurs' who still sends hand-written letters and cards. The recipients will comment that I am the only person they know who still uses pen, stationary, and postage stamps. Not sure what this says about my communication habits, but I welcome any decrease in the cost of stamps.

Just be glad you didn't buy a house for $200,000 and then see it go down to half that or less.

Life is just not fair - you were probably perfectly happy to mail a letter with a Forever stamp that costr you less than 49 cents, now you'll be evening out the price since you "overpaid" to try to save a dollar over a few years time.d more. It also wouldn't be fair if they could never decrease the price, but it's not going to be enough money for me to worry even about the principle of the thing - maybe for me less than 20 cents a year -10 stamps at a 2 cent lowered price.

I could only wish my morning newspaper would be such a bargain!

I just paid 49 cents per stamp but I bought the pretty hearts and flowers.

Me, too! Still writing Thank You notes today. DD does it because she feels it's the polite, personal thing to do ... even when she does the e-mail/facebook/whatever thing, too. LOL

DH always sends cards for birthdays, Christmas, etc. and he always gets a phone call thanking us for their only "rea"l card. Sad, isn't it.

Fate whispers to her, "You cannot withstand the storm." She whispers back, "I am the storm."

I can't believe the USPS won't talk Congress into letting them keep the other two cents too. We'll see, there's still a little time before April. I don't mail very many letters or cards during the year but do send out a lot of Christmas cards. Either way, I'll get by.

LOL I guess a bunch of people didn't read the OP.

I hope aren't directing this at me since I wasn't even complaining. Just shocked that they would make it go down. I don't find the price of mailing letters costly at all, actually. I still have stamps I bought a few years ago since I rarely mail anything.
