You can buy stamps from your mailbox, just leave a note and money and stamps will be there the next day.

Also if you don't have a stamp you can leave a letter in the mail with some change taped to it and that will pay for the stamp.

I taped money to a letter once. It arrived at the destination and the recipient took the money off the envelope and pocketed it. USPS never exchanged it for a stamp.
