Penny For Your Thoughts: Stamp Prices Go Up 1 Cent
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- First-class stamp prices jumped up a penny on Monday.
The U.S. Postal Service brought up the price to $0.45 -- its first jump up in two and a half years.
The cost to mail a postcard went up by three cents to $0.32.
This is the seventh time in the past 10 years that the price has gone up to mail a letter.
The USPS said they hope the higher price will help raise nearly $900 million for the struggling agency.
