Don't buy the 5700 eggs for 100 donuts

I don't understand why people are spending donuts on eggs with more than 2 weeks left in the event. If we're down to a day left before the event ends and I still need some of the prizes, then I might buy eggs, but why not wait until you KNOW you won't get the prizes for free before you pay money for them?

Total lack of patience, self-control, common sense, and self-respect? (Well, at least those were MY reasons.) ;)

At least you admit it! :D

I acknowledge that I've been tempted to buy some eggs. Of the events in which I've participated - all of them after Whacking Day last year - this one feels the most labor-intensive and potentially frustrating. I get so few boxes and so much crap from them when I DO receive them that progress becomes sluggish - and makes it hard to imagine that I'll get all the good prizes without purchasing.

So I want to buy some eggs but I've resisted - and will continue to resist until the day before the event's finish. Hopefully I'll not need to buy any, but we'll see...
