I wouldn't mind if you didn't have to buy everything individually.
Exactually. I'd be willing to spend $10-15 dollars for everything but at 100 for a statue, 70 for a impound lot, etc... its not feasible. It's downright greedy
I think it might help some to see a "dollars to donuts" comparison of the different bundles APART from the "bonuses"
A dozen donuts for $1.99
6 donuts/dollar
60 donuts for $4.99
12 donuts/dollar
132 donuts for $9.99
13.2 donuts/dollar
300 donuts for $19.99
15 donuts/dollar
900 donuts for $49.99
18 donuts/dollar
2400 donuts for $99.99
24 donuts/dollar
From 6 to 24 donuts per dollar plus a bonus- A dozen donuts for $1.99
6 donuts/dollar
16.5¢ per donut
60 donuts for $4.99
12 donuts/dollar
8¢ per donut
132 donuts for $9.99
13.2 donuts/dollar
7.5¢ per donut
300 donuts for $19.99
15 donuts/dollar
6.6¢ per donut
900 donuts for $49.99
18 donuts/dollar
5.5¢ per donut
2400 donuts for $99.99
24 donuts/dollar
4¢ per donut - Spend $35 for 504 donuts, 2 characters & 1 item
or
Spend $185 for 3792 donuts, 2 characters & 3 items
Complaining & Completist are your issues for you to sort out
Are donuts worthless?
Some cost you time, some cost you money "brittannie54;1525239" wrote:
It's no different than other items that cost donuts in my opinion. I realize there are freemium ways to get donuts (I started out that way).
Which is why it IS different than the usual premium items. Even before donuts became "cheap" when they did away levels, players could still earn "free" donuts, so players could get any premium item without actually spending money.
Not anymore - and that's what makes this different..."brittannie54;1525239" wrote:

FYI, Kindle users can get deals on coins for purchase. You can get $25 worth of coins for $20 which gets you both characters.
Back before donuts became "free", I'd earn iTunes credit by churning through questionnaires on "eRewards". This was easier when you could get actual iTunes cards there, but they stopped offering those.
They offer Game Stop cards, so I would just use the eRewards credit for Game Stop certificates and then buy iTunes cards there. Less efficient but it still worked.
Only negative: they limit you to one $25 certificate every 3 months. Not a huge deal - that means a boatload of donuts a year, and that's a lot - but it'd be better without the restrictions.
I'd been saving certificates for a boatload, but the "free donut rampage" that now exists means I no longer needed to do that, so I used 'em to buy a cheap Black Friday Nintendo DS! :p
I can get a new $25 certificate 1/1, so I'll probably buy an iTunes card and use it for the 2 characters.
Still not happy I "have to" do this, but at least it's no money out of pocket! :D- Yes, hours of farming does cost you time (a little more time than you seem willing to admit). When I've purchased donuts it has often been in a time when life/work demands were heavy and not worth ignoring for some "life-ruining" fun. Easier to dedicate the time and focus to earning a living and using some of those funds to supplant effort involved with accruing "farming/level hopping" generated funds.
Don't buy things that you aren't willing to take responsibility for having purchased
EDIT: YOU can farm THOUSANDS of donuts in a FEW hours?
When you say few, do you mean in fewer hours than it would take you to earn $99.99? - So maybe you could spare us all of your grief (?)

Yes. You have a high bonus, xp collider and 500 million dollars...a thousand donuts can be made in an hour or two.
How long did it take you to earn a high bonus and $500 million? Five minutes?"stinkbugger;1525713" wrote:
