Signed, sealed and delivered! There’s “a little change” happening at the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) soon. Even though a small price increase may seem minor to many, it’s noteworthy to bargain hunters because they know small amounts add up over time. (A penny saved is a penny earned!) And, yet again, the USPS is increasing the rate on first-class postage stamp better known as the Forever Stamp.

Price Increase Summer 2025
The price of a Forever Stamp increases on Sunday, July 13, 2025 — from 73¢ to 78¢. That means a book of 20 stamps will cost $15.60 — up from $14.60. (The last increase was back in July of 2024 — from 68¢ to 73¢.)
In addition, the rate of a postcard stamp will increase on the same day — from 56¢ to 61¢.
Now’s the time to stock up on Forever Stamps before the price increase. The last day to buy Forever Stamps at the current rate of 73¢ is Saturday, July 12, 2025.
In case you didn’t know, Forever Stamps are always valid for the current first-class stamp rate — regardless of any future rate increases.
If you use lots of stamps in your personal and/or professional life, it’s definitely worth the investment to buy several books or rolls of stamps now at the lower rate.
If you can’t make it the post office in time, you can also purchase stamps online at the current rate. Even better, the shipping charges are minimal.
As true-blue bargain hunters know, saving money is always paramount — whether big or small. Most people only focus on the big purchases and miss the savings on the small transactions.
The small savings add up quickly and can often pay off more so over time.
