Talk:Black Friday 2015 Promotion/@comment-87.208.72.192-20151127142607/@comment-26561761-20151127155142

"How many times events like this happen a year? I read below there also was an end of school 2015 promo, are there more of these donuts events?

And do items change every time? In other words: Is there a list with characters/buildings/decorations which I should never buy, because they'll end up in a promotion sometime?"

Nobody can know for sure. The first time this type of sale happened was during last year Black Friday sale. The same type of sale was repeated for End of School Promotion 2015 and Oktoberfest 2015 Promotion this year (and now the Black Friday again).


 * School Bus, Jimbo, Kamp Krusty happened on both last year Black Friday and in this year End of School.
 * the Boardwalk Fountain in this year Oktoberfest and now in the Black Friday
 * The Film Set, Ferris Wheel, Lugash's Gym, Rocket Car were offered in both last year and this year's Black Friday.
 * Barney's Bowlarama, Volcano Lair, Duff Brewery, Frink's Lab (to name a few) were offered on last year's Black Friday and they were never discounted again.
 * Cracker Factory, Krustylu Studios were never offered before this black friday, the same for the Unfinished Shed, The Happy Sumo.
 * The Aztec Theatre, Duff Stadium were never on sale before the End of School Promotion
 * The Hungry Hun, Preparatory School, Beer-N-Brawl were never offered before the Oktoberfest promotion.

As you can see EA has offered a wide range of items, some of them returned for other sales, other were only offered once, some others never discounted before got eventually discounted, others were never discounted. So it's impossible to know what is going to happen.

If you want to take advantage of this type of deals, the best is to hoard donuts and only buy something you really, really want, so you will never regret spending donuts outside a sale on something that might get a discount later. It's basically: Do I want this item right now or do I wait until eventually (might never happen) be on sale? Either way you'll need the full price to acquire it.

"btw I have 85 donuts now, should I hold em, or spend? Too bad Moleman isn't part of any deal.. I didn't buy this cheap character yet."

Your donuts, your decision. See if there's something that interest you, and more importantly, think if in a few months you'll still like to have it, that's the best way to reduce the remorse feelings in the future.
