How Good A Deal Are Forever Stamps?

Unless you don't use stamps often, and really very infrequently, you wont save much on forever stamps. Say you purchase 200 of the forever stamps at the current rate of 44 cents a stamp. Let's assume the price of stamps goes up an average of 2 cents per year. If you use 4 stamps per week, then by the time the rate increases you will have used all of the 200 stamps, and have no savings. Suppose you use stamps infrequently and use only 1 stamp a week. Then 52 stamps will be used before the next price increase and 148 stamps are left. In this case you will have saved $2.96 (148 X .02). Considering the cost of the 200 stamps you purchased was $88.00, a $2.96 savings is only a 3.3% savings. I never purchase forever stamps because I know it's really not worth it.
