Do you pay bills with payment coupons, stamps, and envelopes?

Update:

My mother-in-law does but of course she is in her 90's. Attempted to get her to pay bills free of charge using electronic bill-pay through her bank but it fell on deaf ears.

Update 2:

So many great answers. It's hard to award "Favorite answer". If you are not picked, feel free to slap me with a late payment penalty.

    It's tough getting some people to change especially with all the news they heard of data breaches.  If it's works for her, I wouldn't sweat it.  It took me a while to switch over to electronic paying (I would come home, write dhecks for any new bills and drop them in the mail the next morning).  Wasn't a huge amount of work.  I always knew how much money I had in my checking account over and above what was going to go out to pay for bills.  Now, I never balance my checking account but I have to keep a big enough surplus to avoid an overdraft.
