Stamps are about to get more expensive as a price hike proposed several months ago by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) and recently approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) kicks in on Sunday, Jan. 22.

The cost-of-living crunch that’s frustrating American households also put a squeeze on USPS, which in October 2022 said it had put forward plans to increase prices to “offset the rise in inflation.”
