Tips to avoid the Black Hole…
- Find a few select sellers you love and trust. That way it narrows down your search.
- Remember to review items to get TPT credit. Save you some $$$ along the way.
- Be honest with yourself, do you really need it?
- Print it out, and save it in a binder. Tell yourself to check those first before you buy again.
