I still frequent the Post Office on occasion.  In fact I was just there Thursday and bought one measly stamp.  Come spring when our landscaping business picks up I'll buy a sheet of stamps.  Sometimes I get them from the post office, cashiers at wal-mart, Jewels customer service desk... heck I've even utilized the orange envelope provide by the USPS to leave in my mailbox.

I go to the post office on occasion, here you can buy stamps from the ATM machines, which makes it handy

I very rarely mail anything out nowadays. However, when I do get a roll or book of stamps I get them straight from the post office. They will typically will last me 2-3 years.

I order stamps online because I like doing things online. However, I have started going to the post office more lately in order to buy stamps and to send mail because I'm petrified that we may lost our U.S. Postal Service.

I've just enjoyed receiving mail over the years and I always like my postmen. They're so friendly and helpful. And it's just so fun to get things in the mail, whether it's a package or a card. Of course, I do exempt credit card offers and the like from that category. Junk mail is the worst. But I don't want to "throw the baby out with the bath water" so to speak.

I go to the post office to get my stamps and mail off my Bills.  This month though I bought my postage stamps at Wal-Mart with the rest of the items I was purchasing.  I didn't even know Wal-Mart sold postage stamps, my sister use to work there and she said we will get them there because the post office was closed.

Same here, if the lines are long I hold off. I liked it better when they had stamp vending machines in the lobby. Wonder why they did away with them?

It is rare that I buy stamps.  I pay my payments online.  I usually send a text or email to communicate.  I am sending some Valentine Cards.  Usually I only send a couple of cards at holidays.  My grandparents and niece and nephew.  I do buy stamps at the PO when I get them.

Neither. I get them from Walgreens (which is closer than the post-office, which sounds like it should be weird, but it's not ... I have 5-10 grocery-stores within walking distance, but NO (or maybe ONE) post-office)

Wow I use a stamp so rarely wow I  bought some forever stamps forever ago lol and I will probably end up leaving them to my kids as part of their inheritance - I pay my bills online so I am shocked when the rare occasion arises where I actually need a stamp.   :peace:

Our post office is located on my way home from work so I stop in most days to drop off outgoing mail.  I'll pick up stamps if I need them when I am there.  I don't mail much anymore.  I do most bill paying over the internet or have my bank prepare the check and mail it for free!

I buy from the post office.  Once I printed postage from Stamps.com which was fun. But you have to have software, special paper, etc. Frankly, its just simpler to stop by the P.O. once in awhile.

I usually buy stamps at the grocery store. Happily, a book of stamps last me a long time since I mainly use stamps just to pay rent and a few other bills.

I usually buy my postage stamps at the customer service counter at Smiths; the grocery store where I shop.  I recently ordered stamps online and I learned that it is convenient; however, it's more expensive because I had to pay for shipping.

Amen, I'm right with you. If you can't give it to me in cash (or let me pay it in cash), I don't want it ... you CAN send me a check, as long as I can CASH it! ;)

I go to the post office once a month-primarily because I have a post office box so that I can get rid of junk mail faster. I also have a junk e-mail box account. So every time I sign up for something questionable where I feel I will be inundated by junk mail or spam I use the post office box address and the dummy e-mail address.  The post office box also allows me to throw ninety nine percent of the mail right into their garbage bin.  Roughly one percent of everything I get in the mail is worth anything. I get stamps from the grocery store and only use snail mail about once a month.  It is a novelty but people still like to get things in the mail.
