With prices increasing everywhere, from the candy bar to a cup of coffee, it's nice to know that there is room for prices to lower!
That's right, the price of the stamp is decreasing from .49 cents to .47 cents. The Postal Service will lose approximately $2 billion in annual revenue resulting from a price reduction mandated by the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) — which will go into effect on Sunday, April 10.
