If you just want to give it a try you could buy a block account rather than a subscription, $25 will buy you 180GB (you can take as long as you like to use it, it doesnt expire) from astraweb which could end up lasting you a fairly long time. If you imagine an episode of something in x264 720p should be under 2GB thats 90 Episodes or 4-5 full seasons of programmes if a season is 20 eps. Obviously data usage varies wildly depending on how you use it but it gives you an idea.
On another note I would get used to using Usenet a little before jumping into sickbeard etc. Usenet is brilliant but it can have quite a steep learning curve and It would be beneficial to understand what is going on before you start handing it all over to scripts.
When I first started I read through this guide which helped quite a bit with understanding it all
