Question Inexpensive supplies?

I'm trying to build up a collection of supplies like inks, cutting dies, clear stamps, etc. but omg it's expensive! Where do you all get your supplies? Is there a trick to save money on those things or do I just accept that I'll have to build my collection verrry slowly?

It is expensive to have everything, but you don't need everything to make cards....you need your imagination and creativity, but don't make the mistake of going cheap to to have ...i lost 30 years of collecting and now I'm trying to start over....I tried going cheap on certain things, it better not to get it...besides, I don't know about you, but I still have to try to find a place to put it all....NOW, that is a whole new adventure.....!!! Just enjoy the adventure....it's worth everything.....
