It seems rare these days to need a stamp.   Most people pay their bills online so they don't need stamps to mail in their payments.  I had to go to the post office the other day to buy a stamp so I could mail my Dad's birthday card to him.  That was a pain, I opted not to stand in the line and used the self-serve kiosk.

For the most part, you can buy postage stamps at most places where you purchase groceries, office supplies, or packing materials. Businesses that ship packages often carry stamps as well. Additionally, many banks sell stamps through their ATMs or tellers, so the next time you're at the bank, be sure to check for future reference.

If you don't want to search for a place that sells stamps, you can simply drive to your nearest post office. You can either wait in line to buy stamps from the post office clerk or use the self-service kiosk.
