Why are my upgrades so expensive in Midtown Cafe?

I just started my Midtown Cafe within the last couple of days so I haven’t gotten very far. I have read on “The Girl who games” blog that the first time upgrades in Midtown Cafe are:

coffee maker - 188

toaster - 225

shake maker - 600

My first time upgrades were a lot more:

coffee maker - 368

toaster - 382

shake maker - 1020

Is it different for everyone because I have checked out a few blogs and none are expensive like mine. I’m not sure how to earn enough money to upgrade. My staff’s wages take about everything I earn.

Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you!

  • I have not started Midtown, so I do not know

    but I am the only one here, so I'll do my best

    Only thing I can say, it is a grind, think professional workplaces (Police, Movie Studio and Hospital) x10 in terms of grinding it out

    EA Creator Network members, like GwG, uses premium currency to bypass the grind to be able to demonstrate the features and progress and prizes

    It is not done on a realistic time line, what (for normal players that do not use premium currency to rush tasks) takes months, is done in 20 min for these videos.

    This update/feature is meant to take a long time to complete

    GWG said that they have increased the prices.😫She updated her blog so the prices are correct now.

    Thank you very much for your reply, I appreciate it!😊
