[/quote] I hear you! After my first couple of orders I set a limit on how much I can spend each month (from all vendors!) If my order from one place eats it all, well then I'm stuck until the next month! LOL I'm hoping that once I start selling my soap I can increase this amount...

I have been in business for many years and this is the way I do it too. In fact, I keep a list of what I want/wish from each vendor and a separate list of things that I will buy at the most economical place that I find. Then I also have a "must have/need" list that I note with the vendor that I prefer to use for each of those items. Of course my need list is the first to be addressed, but generally, if I work it right, I never have too much on that list since I try to put things that I am low on, onto the want list. Some months I am very lucky and can just indulge myself in all WANTS! YIPPEEE!
That is actually how I found BB. It was an all want month, and I decided to try a few new vendors that I found on the net. That was one very lucky month and one of the most fortunate finds that I have made! And, while I would so love to make BB my only vendor, shipping to the East coast and them not carrying everything I need makes that impossible and not economical for me, but I still place and few orders at BB after I save up and make a decent sized "want" list!
