Boy, Shari...that's a tough one. I guess it's more a matter of your own personal use pattern. I love my Big Shot and have had it for 18 months or so. I'm still on the same initial set of cutting pads. But I don't get as much of a chance to play with mine as many people do, either. Also, lol...I am very cautious about sending stuff through if it feels too thick, where other people have more confidence, kwim?
I'd say get one extra set if you just want to feel like you're covered if one happens to break, but I don't see the need to invest in several up front. I know...kind of a wishy washy answer! Sorry!
