RossIn 1995 the cost of a postage stamp was 32 cents. The rate started on the first of that year.
The price of a First Class Stamp in 1995 was 32 cents. It was good for one ounce of First Class Postage. It went up from 29 cents on New Years Day.
In the year 2005 in the United States, First Class postage was 37 cents. It went up to 39 cents the next year on January 8th of 2006. That covered the first ounce of postage.
Rates were raised in 1995 from 29 cents to 32 cents, but I do not know the date of the increase. So the answer is 32 cents for most of the year; possibly 29 cents early in the year.
In 2005 the cost of first class postage was 37 cents. Additional ounces were 23 cents.

Why are the first Forever stamps no longer being honored as sufficient postage?
There is only one Forever Stamp, it pictures the US Liberty Bell and says First Class Postage. It is good only for the first ounce of a letter, anything more in weight requires additional postage. There are many other non-denominated stamps that may say First Class Postage, but they are not Forever Stamps, they were created for a specific rate. These stamps are still valid for that amount of postage, but they must be supplemented to make the full rate necessary.

Do you have to add postage to stamps bought last year?
Maybe, depending on where you are and when "last year" was. The US postal service began a few years ago issuing "forever" stamps that are first-class postage "forever" ... that is, they can be used to mail a first-class letter even if the cost of first-class postage goes up. These will say "forever" on them, and will not have a denomination other than that. They're priced at whatever the current first-class postage rate is. If a stamp does have a denomination on it, that's the value of the stamp. If that's insufficient for current postage rates, you will need to add stamps to make up the difference.
