Glad I use web to pay bills.

I never use anything but Forever stamps anymore so it doesn't really matter. I have like 30 left over from Christmas and I use them so rarely, I'll still have some next Christmas. The rare usage is why they keep going up though, I think.

Glad I bought a bunch of forever stamps.

Well, that happened with zero publicity. I'm upset. I could have bought stamps for our shop and saved a penny, and right now every penny counts.
Despite people paying their bills online, we still invoice by paper and pay our bills with paper checks.
That's life in the dial-up world!

Me too. I have a sheet and a half left from Christmas! I only have two monthly bills that cannot be paid online, so those should last for awhile. If the post office wants to save some money, they could eliminate Saturday mail service.

If I'd known, I would have stocked up on Forever stamps at the old price. Like most people, I don't use as many stamps as I used to, but when I need one, it's nice to have plenty on hand.

Stamp increases make me a sad panda.
