@ItsJanier: I would definitely recommend checking out the DD thread. The first page has several posts full of tips showing you how to be able to "own the store" as cheaply as possible (Merelhyn has even more tips in her own thread), especially by doing cascades.
The original link that angeljess gave was for doing the Animals Abound cascade, which is all stuff for toddlers and children. You start off by buying a single item in one set, then you get that set for CYS, and then it cascades down and you get set after set for free. You CANNOT be gifted the first item or set - you MUST purchase it yourself for the cascade to work. (Learned this the hard way; I used the cascade for myself, but when I was earning the store for my best friend, someone gifted her that first set, and it broke the cascade.)
There's a cascade based on the Oh My Goth compilation, but unfortunately, EA kept tweaking their prices on items deliberately to break that one, and they succeeded. You can still get it pretty cheaply by following the cascade, it just won't be free one after another like it used to be.
There are several other cascades; I don't remember all of them, but it's really fun when you get them, because you get green download button after green download button, and when you're done with that cascade, you own a lot of stuff for a lot less than you would have expected to spend.
If you read up on the cascades, and follow the DD, and you'll spend less money than you will otherwise. And you might even find that getting that green download button (meaning the set is free for you at that point) is more exciting than playing the game. I know I did! :p
