Yes. It has begun.

Second warning: You'll notice you need more room for your perfumes.

   Hmm. And so it begins. Quite innocently enough. A few blind buys that you find at a good discount. A perfume you know you love on SALE! (And this little voice in your head yells "Score!") Then you start looking on purpose..... even making up some benign excuse to go out to your local discount retailer. "I need new bath towels! Yeah, thats right. New towels!"
    And when you first peruse through an online business that sells fragrance at below retail. Watch out! Its really easy to go overboard on spending.
    Places like Ebay are overwhelming! They have SO MUCH! And if you get caught up in a bidding frenzy...... with your adrenaline coursing through your body like a wildfire.... you're toast!  Or should I say, your credit or bank account is toast. 
    If, however, you're one of those folks that gets really nervous and your stomach starts churning and threatening to erupt when you are under that kind of pressure ~ in other words, you have a built in safety switch that shuts you down in order to keep you from doing harm to yourself ~ then go ahead and check out Ebay! Its great fun and a wonderful place to learn about fragrance.... and damn near every other thing ever made on the face of this planet.
    Think I'm kidding? Someone had a box of Kotex sanitary napkins from the 1950's or 60's up for auction. If I'm remembering correctly, the price was up over $50.00 last time I checked. It was just too absurd!!!!!!!  I know some people want to buy things that remind them of their past, but really? Sanitary napkins?? Who wants to remember THAT?!
    Anyway, the point I was trying to make with this post was that Fragrance Foraging can be lots of fun. Just use common sense and stick to your budget. It helps to save up some money JUST for this purpose. Get a friend who loves perfume too and plan an afternoon devoted to the hunt! Or if you have the stamina and the wallet... the whole day! Do some research beforehand. Know what you're looking at, have an idea of the prices (so you know if it really is a bargain or not) and make use of those tester bottles in all the stores!!! That way you really know if you like something or not. Most of all, ENJOY.
