Just recently I realized I needed some stamps. Both machines I use to go to have disappeared!
Besides the obvious trip to the post office, do you know of any place that still sells stamps?

In the actual ATM? There is a buy stamps option?

CVS near me sells stamps. Bigger supermarkets usually sell them at the courtesy counter. You can also buy them online and have them sent to you.

They magically appear in my house... I'm working on a theory that my wife buys them..

You should get married.
But then you'd make phone calls like this...
"Hey... "
"Hey."
"Where's the stamps...?"
"In the desk"
"Thanks"
"That's it?"
"Yeah."
"Ok..."
"Ok, take care"
"Ok..."
Then you'd get into an argument about not being like you used to be.

I have seen it at wachovia a bit ago, not sure if all do it.
The supermarkets sell them too and some post offices have 24/7 machines in their lobby

You can send priority mail and express mail right through their website if you sign up for an account at USPS (http://www.usps.com).
You print the label right from your machine.

What I always do is write the address I want to send it to in the return address spot and my address in the to mail spot drop it in the box without a stamp. It was a lot of work with the Christmas cards this year. I gotcha stamp right here Uncle Sam!!

Thanks for the all info folks... you're better than asking strangers or a police officer.
I do believe I'll get my letters out post haste.

You can also order them for the USPS web site. For a $1 delivery charge you can get stamps delivered to your house. (So worth it for me since parking at the main JC post office is a nightmare!)
ALSO-- I thought the price of stamps was going up. I buy the "Forever" stamps so it doesn't matter much to me, but I have several Christmas stamps left over that I'd like to use but I'm not sure if they need extra postage.

I rarely get them, but I go to the local post office to get them now since there's one near where I work.

I noticed the buy stamps option in an ATM I used a while ago... hadn't seen that before. I usually get them at the post office, but a lot of grocery stores like Wegmans or Hannaford sells stamps.

You can get both a stamp or a loosie here for 75 cents.
On a side note, you used to be able to buy Metrocards at HSBC atms. That was the best.

I have to check my PO Box a couple of times a week, so if I need them that's when and where I get them.
