Forever Stamps

I need to run some errands later, including mailing the few monthly bills I still pay with paper checks.
I don't need to buy stamps to mail them.

I won't need to buy stamps for a long time. Even allowing for special events like sending Christmas cards, at my current rate of stamp use, I won't need to buy stamps again for at least a couple of years.

A few months ago (before the postage increase) I picked up 100 forever stamps at Costco, where they were even discounted from the official price. Since they are now worth 44 dollars instead of their 42 dollar original value or the 41.50 I paid for them, I have made over 5 per cent on the transaction already.
