I would visit the welcome thread. Leave a post and tell everyone about yourself. I would then check out the marketplace. There are many reputable seed sellers on this forum (ajijoe, pepperlover, amoung many more). Keep an eye out for seed giveaways. Many you can get for just an sasbe.

Also you should watch for auctions. You can usually get a small flat rate box (sfrb) for anywhere from $15 to $30. You win twice. Get the seeds and eat the peppers
