Answer 1

Go to the Post Office with cash and buy them there. They only charge a couple of dollars for the money order.

Answer 2

Go with the cash to a gasstation that sells them or western union and get a money order. Then send it in. It basically is a check for people without a checking account.

Money orders provide an easy, reliable way to pay bills and make purchases, and can be a great tool for managing your budget. When you need a money order, simply visit a participating Western Union® Agent location near you, purchase a money order for the principal amount you need, then send it just as you would a check. Receivers can easily deposit the money order directly into their bank account.

For your convenience, money orders are available at more than 48,000 Western Union® Agent locations in the U.S. Look for the major supermarkets, convenience stores and check-cashers displaying the yellow and black Western Union® Money OrderSM sign.

Go to your bank, the post office, or Western Union. Tell them that you need a money order and how much the money order should be. You typically have to fill out a small form and there is usually a fee involved. The larger the money order, the more you will have to pay. You give them money and they give you the money order.
