Did you know you can purchase books of postage stamps at the grocery store? YES! Sometimes right at the check-out counter along with your other groceries; other times you have to go to the customer service desk. Oftentimes, there is a nominal fee for purchasing a book of stamps; mine charges 50 cents.

Order online. Go to www.USPS.com for delivery right to your home/office. Take your time in selecting the types of stamps you need, give your credit card number, and within days, the stamps will be sent directly to you! There is a one-dollar service fee for this transaction; but it beats waiting on line!

Some malls have Philatelic centers, as do some of the larger post offices, which do passports and sell mail-related products, including stamps. It is faster than the regular post-office line, but it can get backed up if there are a lot of passports being made.

If you live out in the sticks (like moi), your mail carrier might leave a handy envelope for ordering postage in your mailbox (just got one today - very timely!). Not the most timely option, but you don't have to got further than the end of the driveway.
