Bought a roll of "forever" stamps years ago and it's hardly had any used.

When was the last time the price of stamps dropped? I thought this would never happen. Now I am out almost a dollar!

Never mind that the USPS is one of the great bargains in public services...you put your mail in your mailbox, they show up, take it, route it correctly and deliver it to the person of your choosing...for less than half a dollar. That's incredible.

I'd pay $2-3 for that service if I had to.

trying to kill our USPS for years now and this is just one more move.

But, now I have lots of stamps, and don't have to burn fifty cents of gas to buy more.

It's a trade-off, I'll get another cuppa coffee and ponder it.

I just bought a book of them on Tuesday. Oh well. I don't think I am out more than 60 cents, however.

Mailed just one first class letter a week, any and all financial difficulties the Post office has would be gone in short order

Sucks for the post office, but I mail 1-2 items a year. Thanks to online bill pay, I don't get much mail, and don't need to send much mail.

Or an occasional note?

The art of the written letter is dying, it's sad to say.

I would rather just give them a phone call.

They put a lot more stock in actual mail, especially if it's well-written.

I do send the business reply envelopes back when I get them.

The least I can do to cut down on junk mail is make them pay to receive an empty envelope.
