To those who have bought the Glow Barrel, would you say its worth it? I've just bought myself some donuts for Halloween but I couldn't afford heaps and I don't want to waste them.

depends. I have donuts to spare being on Max level and only having the aspirinationals to get (sunsphere). I haven't got a lot of premiums but it is limited time and does give 2%. If you are on/near max level I say yes if not no (purely because you can make the donuts back. Though if you aren't near max level you get the 2% bonus which can help.

Personally I dont think its worth it, but I guess its a matter of opinion.

160 donuts might be enough if you save them all for the event. If they add a premium building it could easily be 100 - 150 donuts.

Same here. I got it but it's too big to fit in anywhere obvious. It's limited time so I guess you could regret not buying it.

I don't think 160 will be enough either. I'd imagine around 200 would be. I bought the Glow Barrel but then I have to have everything the game offers that's donuts. If you want to increase your multiplier, then I would get it. It adds a 2% increase to your money.

Quick thought.

Its called a high glow waste barrel.

Springfield might go DARK for Halloween. So its ment to give grater effect for those that can get one or two.

Night time as been mentioned alot in the past so maybe thay listened.

I just bought it, its pretty big but hey and just put homer on the 12 hr task

This is what you get, I know it's already been posted. You guys are quick! LOL

I like the glow barrel. If somebody has a garbage pile or junkyard, it would fit in perfectly there.

Homer's got 40 minutes left of the task I put him on overnight. Can't wait to start this new storyline even if it will interfere with the Patty and Selma questline.

Sarahstown - start hunting around online and in stores for iTunes gift card sales. Best Buy and Walmart will often have the $100 one for $85 or $80. Anything less than 15 - 20% off isn't that big of a deal.

Holidays are coming, these things will be going on sale soon. So look for them. Then if there is a Gil deal with donuts? You get an even bigger discount because you got the gift card on sale.

Other than that, I don't think you will have enough. It's just a guess though and hopefully I'm wrong. :(

@Sarahstown: I suppose this years Halloween will be quite big... Espescially since apparently last years Halloween-update was great, and I guess EA want to try to top that. The game has also taken off since then. I view of all that, I agree with Lissa and believe that around 200 donuts will be way too little to get most Halloween items. But might be enough to get those items you really want... Hard to say...

I'm in the really annoying position of living in New Zealand but having an Australian account,

I've just been through the process of changing base country for the app store (twice actually, since I made use of my vacation to get hold of an app that's not released for my region).

This is how to proceed:
* Have IP address of the country you want your account to change to
* Have phone number of that country (not sure about WiFi only devices...)
* Change billing address of your credit card (!)
* Make a (paid) purchase on the app store (which you can return immediately and get the payment back).

It might be possible to leave one or more of these steps out, but this is what did the thing for me.
