Quick: how much is a postage stamp?

I was going to say a 1st class stamp, but I think that might be redundant.

Anyway, I bought 10 the other day and muttered something like “Oh, that’s what it costs.” The post man gave me an impassive look. Perhaps he hears that a lot?

The price of those stamps is going up another 5 pennies to $.73.**

This is quite the rise from 12 years ago when postage was just 34č̣. It is also the second increase this year.

**The increase is a little more than double, which may just be a normal economic incline. Or not.... feels like a small BIG deal.

Wonder what the going rate on a postcard looks like!
