Or, use tape or glue:

I just started using this glue for attaching thermocouples:

About $8 for 4 oz. I can position the sensor, slop on some glue, hit
it with some UV light, and I'm done in a few seconds. Of course, the
bond is essentially permanent, so you have to do it right the first
time.

Also, you can make your own thermocouples with a specialized welder:

with a 12v car battery and a hammer:

with almost any common heat welding method (oxy-acetylene, HHO
hydrogen torch, Brown gas, etc):

or if you have some environmentally incorrect mercury available:
