Today starts the Forever Stamp and the new 41 Cents Per stamp rate hike. Also, there are new rules about how THICK an envelope may be... must be under 1/4"... failure to do so will result in a fee for not being flat machineable. (80 cents instead of 41 on a First Class Stamp)So, go on out there and pickup your new stamps. Wahoo! $20 says there will be some type of "emergency" rate hike before the year ends due to gas prices... stay tuned.
BTW, UPS raised their "Fuel Surcharge" on May 7th from 3.5% to 4%.

It's not just thickness, there is a big list of rules defining a "First-Class letter" which the USPS still has flexibility of adopting. I would hesitate on buying forever stamps than you need.
