If you're like a lot of folks, you consistently forget to buy stamps at the grocery store and consequently have to make countless trips to the post office, where you have to buy the stamps out of a machine that gives you $12 in coins as change for your twenty. If you've finally had enough, follow these steps the next time you need stamps to buy your postage online.

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Go to the USPS website's Postal Store. From this screen, you can choose from postage, shipping supplies or collectibles.
Step2
Click "Buy" in the "Stamps" box to buy postage. Select the quantity you need and then click "Checkout."

Register with the USPS site if you're a new user. Choose a user name and a password (the password must be at least eight characters and contain one uppercase letter and one number). Select a password question and enter its answer.

Proceed to "Checkout," confirm your shipping address (this must be the same as your billing address). Enter your credit card type, number, expiration date and security code. Review your information, and print your receipt. Your purchase should arrive within 7 to 10 days, via (what else?) the United States Postal Service.
