Firstly I want to thank kimmylee for the assistance, ended up ordering my Royal Mail stamps but both my thread and account were either deleted or disappeared into the abyss shortly after.

I'm looking to acquire both French and Spanish stamps so I can send an SASE to football (soccer) players with 8x10 photos to be autographed and returned to me in Canada.
Luckily I speak French so it was fairly easy navigating La Poste's site to acquire French stamps, however in order to acquire 7,80 € in stamps it would cost me 24,00 € in shipping, which is a little more than I'm willing to pay.
Another option on their site is to print off your own stamps but it costs suspiciously less than buying actual stamps and I'm not entirely informed on how the French stamp system works (it took me a while to understand how Royal Mail's stamps worked as well).
I've been on the Spanish postal site as well (Correos) but I'm unable to distinguish if the stamps they sell are eligible for international shipments and how much they're worth.
Can anybody offer me advice as to what other options I have? I understand you're able to buy USPS stamps from sites such as Amazon but I'm unable to find French or Spanish stamps anywhere except their proprietary websites.
Any advice is appreciated.
EDIT: I've also been considering acquiring euros from my local bank and including them en lieu of stamps. Would this be a viable alternative?
