Which Stuff Packs do you think are worth buying?

The ones you mentioned as worthwhile -- perfect patio, cool kitchen and romantic garden are IMHO the best to start off with if you have not purchased an,y before. Movie Hangout would be next on my list. Luxury pack was lame Imo. Spooky stuff had more items in it, but if you're not into Halloween then best to skip it. if money is an issue, you can just buy two now and then later on some more; they'll always be for sale and maybe go on sale or be bundled later on
