Taken from the United States Postal Service website at www.usps.com:
On May 11. 2009, the price for a 1-ounce First-Class Mail stamp will increase from 42¢ to 44¢. Prices for other mailing services - Standard Mail, Periodicals, Package Services (including Parcel Post), and Extra Services - will also change. The average increase by class of mail is at or below the rate of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index.
Customers can use their Forever Stamps - regardless of when purchased - to mail 1-ounce letters after the price change, without the need for additional postage. Forever Stamps are widely available through Post Offices, commercial retail outlets such as grocery stores, and online.
Prices for mailing services will continue to adjust each May. Prices for most shipping services, including Express Mail and Priority Mail, were adjusted in January and will not change in May.
Postage went up to 44 cents First Class on May 11th. However, there's ways to be frugal and combat this annual raise. Hey, two cents adds up over the year. http://www.ehow.com/how_4932873_save-money-stamp-price-increase.html Kathleen

If they say 42 cents on them, you need the additional 2 cent stamps to make up the difference. If they are 'Forever' stamps, they are valid for one ounce of First Class Postage regardless of the cost.
