I’ve had this problem, too. I can’t afford two weeks worth of high bids until the prices start to drop. What I have found helped to speed up the process by a lot is to have your Quality Score good when you first start your campaign. Write a couple of articles about whatever you are selling (for example, I was an ink affiliate, so I wrote an article on how to install ink, how to conserve ink, how to figure out which ink you needed, etc). I also got some inbound links with good anchor text and gave my site about a week before I created a campaign for it. You want Google’s initial impression of your site to be good how you can get a decent QS instead of waiting to be reevaluated in a couple of weeks.

Have you tried the auto-optimize campaign tool? It does appear to work, well it has recommended I decrease my bid amount a couple of times. Either way it’s a great way of making sure you’re in the right ball park every month or so.
