NATIONWIDE -- Just a reminder that the new stamp price is in effect today. That means if you're sending out a letter or postcard, it's going to cost you a penny more.
The price of a regular First-Class stamp is now 42 cents. You can still use any Forever stamps you purchased at the 41-cent rate. They were introduced as a way to save money last year, when the cost of mailing a regular letter went up 2 cents.
It's going to cost more to mail a letter starting today. The price of a First-Class stamp is up a penny, to 42 cents.
The U.S. Postal Service says more than six billion Forever stamps have been sold so far. Those now cost 42 cents as well.
The cost to mail a post card is now 27 cents. Certified mail costs a nickel more, at $2.70. Priority and express mail also are getting more expensive.
