Why arent any stuff packs on sale??? I bought almost all of them at full price but now im sick of them, and just waiting for sales but they're never on sale...

Because they're at such a low price to begin with that EA feels they don't make any money on them when they do put them on sale and they know players are going to be more willing to do a quick grab-and-go with an already lower priced stuff pack when they need a quick boost to their games so there's no need for them to be put on sale as often (or at all).

Even more importantly a Stuff Pack is not likely to be something that's going to entice in new players who have never played the game before to pick up the base game and start playing the way an EP or GP on sale might.

That said they generally do go on sale about once or twice a year you just have to be patient and watchful. My guess for a most likely time would be during the big Origin Summer Sale.

Also I don't think that people really understand how sales work. When something is put on sale more likely then not they're not trying to sell that item. Well I mean they are but that's not really the end game. The end game is to pull people into your store so that they'll buy other (hopefully full priced) items while they're there. This harder to do on online stores when people don't have the "well I came all this way I might as well get something else while I'm here" mentality that they do in brick-and-mortar stores thus online stores have bigger sales more often because in their mind if you come there to buy a sale item often enough you may be more likely to buy that other bigger ticket item that you think about every time you visit the page.
