Black Friday mystery box considerations/strategies

I haven’t found this discussed yet, but there are some interesting donut cost differences for the same prize in different boxes, that makes me think it is worth purchasing the lowest cost boxes (to an extent) to clear items out of the higher cost boxes to get your best value.

Here are some box items and the cost discrepancies between boxes:

Yard work simulator - Cyber: 75, Creatures: 15 😳!

Springfield Pet Shop - Retail: 50, Creatures: 15

Shauna - Characters: 80, Women: 60

President Lisa - Cyber: 75, Women: 60

Florence of Arabia - Women: 60, Imports: 50

Imaginary Bear - Bronze: 20, Creatures: 15

These were just from ones available to me. I’m sure there are more examples of items I already have.

Given, one’s donut surplus may prevent you from just purchasing cheaper items and not have donuts left for the bigger “want” items. But I would be annoyed to get the Yard work simulator in a Cyber box for 75 donuts when it is also available in the Creatures box for 15. I have a little over 700 donuts right now, over 100 items I don’t have yet, and some big ones I definitely want. At some point I will just have to try my luck but I am clearing out some Creatures first. 😝

Thoughts?
