Ordering foreign currency

[snips86x]

It's been quite some time since I last did this (purchased foreign currency) but since I'm driving to Italy next week, I should probably think about buying some Euros. We've got a lot of travelers here so looking for the best place to purchase Euros.

Where would you suggest?

I don't like the idea of a credit card personally but I appreciate the suggestion. As for Thomas Exchange, there aren't any branches local to me. It looks like it'll either be postal order or using Post Office. If my brother and I buy together, it seems we can get a rate of 1.077
