  I've been trying to figure out, from all the top of page offerings, what one will give us the biggest bang for buck? 
  I did end up buying the Alexandra 8 deal .... so that is used, but for instance, today is Sci-Fi ...you can get a couple free items, but its difficult to know what you are really paying as you add more stuff to get more discount or more free stuff. Free is always way good. 
  
   

  Depends on what you already have, how much you are willing to spend and what you use.  Today's Alien offer is pretty much a total washout for me, for example, as I own every single thing DAZ is offering for free.  I did really well off the Alexandra offer, but not as well as I could have as I already owned a number of the items in most of the bundles.   If you have the DAZ Deals browser installed https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/106296/announcing-daz-deals-browser-add-on it helps a lot in seeing what the relative value of each deal using the percentage function, but just getting a good deal doesn't mean much if it's stuff you'll never use.     

  That said, if you're willing to spend around $200.00 in advance, the Valentines offer for the gift certificates at 20% off is a pretty good deal, as the 20% discount and the additional discounts should cover the cost of two of the three items you bought to get the discount... as a real world example, I bought the following for an effective price of $30.92 (before tax) by buying a $165.GC, which discounts to $132.00 if you have three qualifying items in the cart, and using my PC+ PA coupon.  

  Michiko HD for Genesis 8 Female

  Kalina For Genesis 8 Female

  HD Grand Piano and Poses for Genesis 3 and 8

  Joanna for Genesis 3 and 8 Female

  Z Behind The Camera - Prop & Poses for Genesis 3 and 8

  Z Handcuffed - Smart Prop and Poses for Genesis 3 & 8 Female

  Eilish for Genesis 3 Female

  Summer Fun Hair for Genesis 3 Female(s)

  Breeze for Genesis 8 Female(s)

  CityScapes Backdrops

  $165.00 DAZ GC

   

  And then I used that Gift Certificate to buy the Alexandra deal as follows:

   

  Megah and Swimsuit for Genesis 3 and 8 Female

  HP Luthril for Genesis 8 Female(s)

  Alexandra 8 Pro Bundle

  FWSA Helena HD for Alexandra 8

  Kylie for Alexandra 8

  Rosa for Alexandra 8 and Genesis 8 Female

  Missy for Teen Josie 8

  Centaur 7 Male Pro Bundle

  Genevieve 7 Pro Bundle

  Lovable Nerds Bundle

  Ron's Broken Glass

  Ron's Sci-Fi Custom Shapes Bundle

  School Lunch Props (free item)

  Fabric Gazebo

  POI - Bus Stop 1

  That total came to $111.54 before tax, but even with tax being added in on both of those orders due to the fact that I live in Texas, that still left me with nearly $50 left to spend on the GC.  that's how you play DAZ Shopping Tetris. :)

  Your links don't work. Links to people's personal product librarys don't work, just a heads up, as I see you often link to your product libraby but that's a bit of a waste of time since none of us can see it. lol :)

  Ah... I was actually just cut and pasting from the invoices rather than manually retyping.  Hadn't realized that they linked to my library and not the store. I've gone back and removed the links, thanks!
