I am trying to locate a stamped envelope, one of those that cost around 40 cents at the post office. Is there a place where I can buy one with the post office closed?

Most post office, at least a decent sized one, will have a place to buy stamps even when closed.

I know you can buy stamps from the service desk at Stop and Shop. Try CVS.

Yup every USPS office I've been to, you can still go inside and drop off stuff and buy stamps from the vending machine but the part to go inside and talk to someone is closed off.

You can buy a stamp from the machine in the post office any day of the week, It's never closed.

Is it possible that the OP has never been out of the house before?
How else could anyone NOT know about the mail centers and other places where you could buy a stamp or even stamped envelope?

Even at the PO, a stamped envelope will cost you more than the price of a stamp alone.
About $.05 more IIRC.

You can buy stamps on ebay. See if there's someone in your area selling stamps who would allow you to buy one of the rolls of stamps for local pick-up.
