Cough up the Forty One cents

Monday, May 14, 2007

Public Service Announcement:

Your first class postage now costs 41 cents.

I'm just cheap enough so that this is the very last thing I needed to start paying all my bills online.

Online banking, here I come.

Oh, and I'll see you in line at the post office for the 2 cent stamps.

Damnit.

I don't use stamps since long ago, making a line for 2 cent stamps? no way I will get them from the bending machines.

Although it doesn't bother me that the stamp is now $0.41, it does bother me that in order to use the 2 books of stamps I have, I have to purchase 2 books of $0.02 stamps. Oh well....minor inconvenience.

Isn't this why we slaughtered the British?

No stamp screw-jobs without support from this blog!

Who's with me? Crumb?

Stamps are, for now, a part of life. Anyone bother to compare the gas price increase (percentage based) versus the increase of stamp prices?

Gas: 10%
Stamps: about 3%

Maibe I should be mailing myself to work.

Well, I have been know to 'mail it in' before.

Actually stamps are a 4.7% increase since 1940. Houses on the other hand . .. 16%

Salaries? 8%

I said about 3%. I didn't have my calculator. Take 2 cents and divide it by about 40. Somewhere around 5%
