I did buy 1 lucky egg to get me from 7 to past 9, then you get a free lucky egg at both level 9 and 10. I just saved up a ton of pidgeys, popped the first lucky egg, and evolved them. Pidgeys are Weedles are the most valuable to me since they only take 12 candy to evolve. Rattatas take 25 so they are less valuable for power leveling.
I also went to a park downtown and the spawns were absurd. I literally caught 4 scythers in the 1.5 hours I was there and I had never seen anything close to that good by my house. Pic from a good farming spot at said park:
Edit: Incense seems incredibly rare from pokestops. I have gotten 2 incubators though and I haven't visited that many since the closest one is a mile away. Actually, the 2 incubators might have been from leveling up. Not totally sure.
