It takes some time and deep pockets to be able to use this program, really. If you're new to the program there are a few things you can do to try and make the spend more profitable. Here are a couple things you can do:
Turn off content partners. In my experience, not much of this traffic converted into sales. Even if you're only paying a dime a click it still spends quickly.
Turn off your campaign overnight. Since you have no real way to monitor your clicks, it might be easier to turn your campaign overnight. This will help you conserve your advertising dollars for the next day.
Tweak your keywords as much as possible. Make sure that you've selected the best keywords for the product/service/website you are trying to promote. The more you tweak it, the better it gets.
Of course, not everyone is going to have the exact experience, but these are two things that I've done to keep Adwords spending to a reasonable amount.
I hope that this helps!
