Did U.S. mail prices go up?

I used to be able to send my 9x12 envelopes containing my 8x10 SASE for one $1 Stamp + one Forever Stamp (on each).

Today the post office told me the outer envelope would cost $1.92 and the SASE would cost $1.68.

How many stamps are y'all affixing to your envelopes and SASEs?

Is it also possible to use IRC for the USA?

Has anyone from Russia bought US stamps? Where do you buy them?

I bought stamps from ebay.com. How many US stamps do I need to send an envelope with a photo? Price Group for Russia is 4. I bought "Forever Global" stamp.

Hi folks, I remember years ago I could purchase a voucher, which could be redeemed for postage. I believe they’re now longer available. I appreciate this question has probably been raised a few times, but cannot see anything recent with a defined answer.

I live in the UK, and want to post an 8x10 with a return postage, which would be in a standard sized mailer. What’s the best and easiest solution, to send the SAE? Originally, I was thinking of putting money (in dollars) to cover the postage putting enough in to more than cover the cost, so they could pay for the postage.
Ideally, I want to make life easy for the recipient, so they can just post it back. I can find something confusing, so what’s the simplest and easiest way to purchase postage for a return stamped address envelope?

Thanking you in advance

Amazon sells the US stamps internationally, however the shipping might be a little expensive

The UK is price group 3 so you're probably looking at $2.40 or more depending on the weight.
Be careful, though. They give their prices based on ounces and 1 ounce isn't very much (about 28g). It probably be OK for an envelope and 1 picture, but 2 pictures would probably go over the ounce.
They do sell "forever" stamps which are the first class letter price, so an 8.5x11 would take two (plus some extra if it's heavier).
