Forever Stamps - Why Buy Anything Else? | I've Paid For This Twice Already... http://www.paidtwice.com/2008/02/13/forever-stamps-why-buy-anything-else/#comment-16382 JvW Thu, 14 Feb 2008 04:33:26 +0000 http://www.paidtwice.com/2008/02/13/forever-stamps-why-buy-anything-else/#comment-16382 I work in the mailing industry (not for the USPS) and the rates last increased in May 2007. They plan on increasing the rates every May until 2010 to "catch up" with inflation. As far as the forever stamp goes, I agree that it makes sense to buy them instead of $0.41 stamps, but I think inflation would neglect any savings you achieve by buying a bunch of them.
