Reminder: Stamps go up to 44 cents on May 11

In case you forgot or aren’t aware, it’ll cost you 44 cents to send a letter beginning May 11.

But if you want to save yourself 2 cents a stamp now’s the time to stock up on Forever Stamps which are good indefinitely for the first-class mail one-ounce letter price, according to a U.S. Postal Service news release.

First sold in April 2007, Forever Stamps are designed to ease the transition during price changes so that customers won’t need to worry about buying additional postage to mail a letter when the cost of stamps changes.

This year customers can also purchase 44-cent stamps before May 11 as they become available. The Purple Heart stamp, Wedding Rings stamp and two-ounce Wedding Cake stamp are now available. The Simpsons’ stamps will be available May 7, and Love: King and Queen of Hearts will be available May 8.

U.S. Flag stamp coils of 3,000 and 10,000 are now available, and U.S. Flag stamp coils of 100 will be available May 8.
