Anyone else tempted to buy donuts?

I gave into the temptation on day 2. Apparently I have no will power.

I wouldn't spend it on Xmas items. but I did drop a couple bucks to get Kang when he went on sale. I'd be ok with spending some more in the future since I play this game a LOT.

Not in a long time. Too many "broken Springfields," and the refund process is vague, at best.

I bought the boatload.

Anyone else give into there urges and buy donuts?

Steady... Hold on...

:shock:

Yep! I bought $50 worth. The way I figure it, why not. As stupid as it is I get alot of enjoyment out of this game, why not spend some money to get a little more. I know I'm not getting anything in return really for my money, but I don't care. I'm having fun.

This way I can get all the limited/premium Christmas stuff and Frink's and Volcano Lair for the facades.

Duh, I did - almost gone again... That was my pre-x-mas gift for myself :roll:

Just wait til next week or two because there wil be a guy that comes into your springfield and offers you a dozen donuts for 1.99. If you refuse dont worry because he stays in your springfield and you have 8 days to buy 12 donuts for 1.99. I will try to post up pics.

Kind of want to but I don't think I will yet. I was really excited about Santa's Village, but it's smaller than I had hoped for so I guess I can live without it, for now at least...

That is the same offer in-game. He doesn't offer anything better?

Just did tonight. I got the $100 iTunes card for $80 at BestBuy. I knew I wanted more stuff, but I had no idea how unbelievably giddy the boatload of donuts would actually make me. I highly recommend treating yourself.

:!: I didn't know Best Buy had deals on itunes cards. MAN.

I was in the same boat as you too, debating whether to buy donuts. I finally gave in and bought a store load a couple months back. I still have about 340 donuts left. I mostly used mine to get the premium characters. I read that a lot of the premium buildings aren't actually giving the extra boost for jobs that they are supposed to, so I have held off on those. The Christmas village is looking nice though.....

Also bought a $100 iTunes card for $80 on Black Friday. Tempting to use....

Aw just noticed this

But i dont know yet because I didnt buy the donuts at thise time and once I got back on the game he disappeared, he was a pretty funny character too. Sorry though

I'm considering putting down $5 just to reward the developers for putting out a fantastic update. Too bad that won't buy me anything worthwhile.

Technically, this was a Black Friday deal, but if you print the page and bring it in to the store you may still get the price because the ad is still up on their web site without an expiration date. All you will need is a manager to approve it and a smile.

Is it part of the storyline? How do you know?

mellytan · December 5, 2012 10:57PM
