Wowzers! I can rember when stamps were closer to twenty cents than thirty, and now forty cents. I know that doesn't make me very old, but to think that the price of stamps has doubled in my short lifetime! Why do I care tho... i barely use stamps anyways.
That would by why the price goes up. My generation barely knows what a stamp is.
Thanks for the reminder. I wasn't sure when this was going to take effect. I do remember the 10 cent ones too. Stamps have come a long way... self-adhesive, and now make your own stamps.
Carmel, I was wondering what postage is in Australia. Thanks for sharing! My dh is of the odd opinion that they should just up it to $1.00 and get it over with!
St. Peter's, you are right. Stamps have come a long way! The self stick ones are such a great idea!
"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark

That's very true! I was just thinking, "Gee, its time I join the 21st century and stop mailing my bills!"
Gee, I remember when they were 25 cents and gas was a dollar a gallon....those were the days!
I remember when they were 32 cents for years...
Thanks for the reminder. I'll send everything off before the stamp increase then :)
My dh claims to remember when a first class stamp was 5 cents. I think I remember 10 cents myself.
Here in australia they are 50cents. which is equivalent to about the same in US dollars
