The cost-of-living crunch that’s frustrating American households is also putting the squeeze on the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), which on Friday announced plans to raise prices to “offset the rise in inflation.”

The agency said in an Oct. 7 statement that it has proposed a range of price hikes, including for stamps and raising fees on mail insurance, money orders, and P.O. box rentals.
