NILES – Unless you bought the Forever stamps, you need to add a penny as today the cost of a first-class letter increased to 42 cents. Post cards also increased, to 27 cents.
Last year, when the stamps increased, consumers were given the opportunity to purchase Forever stamps. Today, the price of these stamps goes up to 42 cents, but they can be used in the event of future increases.
The Stamp Out Hunger food drive Saturday netted 39,990 pounds of food from Niles residents alone. Totals of the surrounding areas are expected to surpass last year's donations and will be released soon.
