Doughnut Purchase Recommendations
Any limited time items. Otherwise you'll regret it after the event.

- I'm really wanting to buy donuts too, but I'm holding out for an appearance by Gil. Sadly, I don't think we will see him until Christmas.
- Otto. Bus is cool. Iconic character. Zero of his tasks involve premium buildings (just the Bus, Toots and the Brown House). And he has KL tasks. Best putchase I've made, and I own Frink and Duffman as well. Frink is a great #2. I love Duffman... but not a huge priority compared to the other 2.
Frink also has a 24hr goo task... an extra selling point for Halloween.
If it were me... I'd start:
- Otto
- Frink
- SVT (so worth 30 donuts, great guy to camp in KL)
- Mausoleum & Cemetaries (for ghost hunting now, and a cool large cemetary later)
From there, its personal choice. dcacooper wrote:
Hi All,
Finally getting round to buying some doughnuts for the first time ... 900 probably. Any thoughts on some good/useful things to get, Halloween or non-Halloween.
I fancy Frink, because he is one of my favourite characters, and want to get the Ray Gun to complete the Kang/Kodos stuff, but beyond that I have no idea. Which would be good items to start with that have actual value in developing my game rather than just looking cool (although that is not a bad thing in itself, of course).

Both Frink and the Ray-gun for Kodos is great choices, and uses 300 donuts. As someone else wrote, I'd be inclined to get Otto and his bus, as he can also be of use in KL.
From this update, I'd actually recommend getting Witch Marge too. As she was from the last years Halloween, she don't have a questline this time around, sadly, but she is good value. Witch Marge comes with a cauldron that gives a bonus percentage to what you earn, and Witch Marge herself pays out premium rate (meaning you from now on can have Marge in this costume earn more money in-game). Witch Marge also has a task that can make your crops at Cletus grow faster. All this weighs out the fact you don't get a quest line in my point of view.
Otto and Witch Marge costs 120 and 75 donuts, adding 210 donuts for a total of 495 spent donuts if you buy these items.
After this, you might consider getting the Cemetary as every town should have one. It pays ghosts during Halloween, but I believe it will pay money afterwards. But if you prefer more character, you should take a look at Duffman (with his Brewery - this might be part of a package closer to Christmas, but no one knows for sure), Disco Stu (with his Disco), Jasper (with the Community House) and even Boobarella as she is limited to this Halloween update.
Furthermore even Sideshow Mel should be considered, as he comes with a building, and has tasks in KL. But all of this comes to personal preferance :)
EDIT 1 and 2: Squeaky-Voce Teen is great value for 30 donuts. Many outdoor tasks, and have tasks in both SF and KL. The same goes for Moleman, though he costs 60 donuts...
EDIT 3: Changing price for Witch Marge.- I'm with the idea of going for the limited time stuff. Just using the common logic that this stuff is only going to be around for a month, and we probably won't see them again. The rest of the stuff is always available, so you will have plenty of time to get more and buy those.
That's my suggestion. - Witch Marge only costs 75 donuts. I bought her and she has been well worth it. I love she pays more and the cauldron paying more.

WitchMarge is the only thing I missed out on last year and the fact that she is 75D (90D last year) makes it a good deal.- The Hot Tub is a good buy. It was 60 doughnuts and give you a good 2.5% increase to your multiplier. Also, it give Fat Tony a premium task. It's a 10 hour task that pays out $525, his normal 24 only pays out $600. Also, it looks pretty cool when he is in there.

So what do you think you want to get? :)- Well, first and foremost, get what you like.
I agree with getting the limited time stuff. Witch Marge is a good investment, even though it is only a skin. The Cauldron has a 2.25% bonus and Witch Marge has a 4 hour Speed Up Crop task. When combined with the 8 hour Grow Silvertongue essentially gives you a 4 hour crop, which is great if you do 4 hour tasks.
