It would probably be a good idea to buy stamps this week – at least if you want to save a little money.

The price of Forever Stamps -which can be used in perpetuity regardless of future changes – is set to increase on July 14. The new rate will include a 5-cent increase from 68 cents to 73 cents.

Stamps last increased in January when they rose from 66 cents to 68 cents. In 2023, the price of a Forever Stamp rose from 63 cents to 66 cents.

Stamps aren’t the only thing getting more expensive. Other price changes include:

• Letters (1 oz.) – 68 cents to 73 cents
• Letters (metered 1 oz.) – 64 cents to 69 cents
• Domestic postcards – 53 cents to 56 cents
• International postcards – $1.55 to $1.65
• The additional ounce price for a single-piece letter will go from 23 cents to 28 cents.

No price increases are being proposed for USPS Ground Advantage, Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express services.

According to USPS, the increase is needed to further its strategic plan, “Delivering for America,” a 10-year plan that includes a comprehensive overhaul of mail services.
