    Thanks for letting us know about the Wishlist coupon! I'm getting some good deals, it's even working on DAZ+ items.

    Ah, yes, the December price jack-up, where even with all three punches, 2 tokens, and a 30% off coupon, the prices of anything on my WL (non-Outlet, non-QG) is still way more than it's been in a lot of sales.

    Yay for those who can get a good cart out of it though. :)

    Yeah, I decided to not get anything. If I was playing the game of buying new releases for extra discounts, there might have been a point, but nothing interests me enough, especially that I don't have any tokens. I'd rather keep a steady pace of small purchases to get the calendar items and nice list items.

    Same. Hoping for an interesting HoliDaz or BTD+ this week to break things up a bit since I struck out on QGs. 

    Nice list was another I already have, but five out of seven (because there was that one day without one) is a pretty good ratio. And those other two I would've been super excited over if I hadn't jumped the gun by three months! LOL And I really liked today's calendar freebie. Not that I specifically /need/ more holiday props, especially as I've yet to do a holiday scene, but I really liked the mugs that came with the set.

    New banner with 30% of 5 Wishlist items code.

    ... can't open the holiday sale page on the phone. Tapping on the banner only takes me to the main store page. Not sure what is up. I can only open the Outlet store and Quick grab. I've been trying to get to the Featured Artist sale but no luck. I am signed in.

    The Outlet Store and Quick Grab remind me of the big bins I used to see in Walmart.

    There were hundreds of DVD or Bluray discs for $5. But there was nothing of interest to me.

    I found two items in Quick Grab that are of minimal interest. But I can't be bothered to spend even the 99 cents for each item.

    Not to worry- there's always next week for the QG iterms.

    Well today is even funnier. My Advent Calendar item is also featured in outlet Quick Grab store for $0.99

    Now it costs $2.99 just for me >_<. I must have been naughty!

  • TorquinoxTorquinox Posts: 4,245

    My advent offers have been good items. The $2.99 price point is not enticing on a ~$20 DO item, though. So I haven't been buying them and I'm not getting freebie offers because I'm not playing the punches game - not really spending money on content now unless the offer and the item are both irresistible. And that has not been the case for me. I've been cherry picking the daily freebies, too. Don't need more clutter in my library.

  • tsroemitsroemi Posts: 3,460

    Personally, I'm quite happy with the holiday sale, it's rather nice and relaxed, and one gets lots of bonuses and some real presents which I love. I come in in the morning, collect something nice from my advent calendar, admire and pocket  the day's freebie, rummage around the deals and specials and such, buy a little something that I like and that keeps my punches active, and then I trot off, quite a content camper.

    But its a no big issue as tomorrow it will no longer be on Advent Calendar and should be back to Quick Grab price.

    Whew! With all the savings calculus going on along with Tokens, and monthly coupons, I've got five $25 items down to $2.50 each! DANG! With all the other sales events that have gone on this month I'm making a huge dent in my Wish List! Thanks, DAZ!

    Thanks for the heads-up - I wouldn't have noticed it.

    I just got some more items of my wishlist at great prices (with punches, tokens and monthly coupon) - my only "problem" now is that my wishlist is shrinking fast, so less excitement next time a wishlist-based sale comes up wink 

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,847

    ...cool, just picked up Stonemason's Deep Core Station for a great price.

  • SilverGirlSilverGirl Posts: 2,810

    Some decent prices in the build your own flash sale (carousel tile) promotion. I'm trying to keep my spending down to a steady low trickle, so I only got one thing, but it covered the daily purchase for less than an Outlet item. Definitely filing that under 'win'.

  • Ron KnightsRon Knights Posts: 2,064

    The offer says I can get up to 60% off items in my wishlist.

    None of the items shown are in my wishlist.

  • ElorElor Posts: 3,153

    Check the Only Wishlisted box and you should only see the items from your wishlist that are eligible for the coupon.

    FLASHMAS' prices are incredibly attractive, probably the biggest discounts available right now. Unfortunately, the items I really wanted weren't on the list or didn't have the base 50% off discount, so I ended up only choosing one urgently needed item.

    Yeah, it's only attractive if the items were already discounted. Especially that you have to use a code to make it happen. But I also did find a thing that I need, and quite urgently too, so there's that.

    Hopefully everyone else is happily building bigger carts!

    That whole Wishlist thing is confusing.

    It says you can get price reductions on Wish List Items. Click here.

    But the Wish List items are not immediately shown. You need to click a check box.

    One too many steps. But I did spend some money.

    Better than the one on the main sale page where you get 20% up to 5 with a code, and they're all at base price. (DO's have 30% off, but... that's base for them.) 

    Wow, a whole 20% off the base price????

    I think real hard if I need something when the discount is 80%. When the price is 80%?

    Yeah, no.

    (ETA, yeah, that means it's 48% off for non-DO's if you're D+ and have 3 punches, and a bit more if you're premier and have 3, but still.)

    I used all 10 slots, lots of goodies! :)

    Here was my process if it helps anyone:

    • Cart test random items to determine the discount range / floor price / discount stacking.
    • Skim through the listings and add a few (60) candidate items to my cart. I only picked items with 50% base discount because they overlap with today's Featured Artist Stores.
    • Then I kept a stale cart tab (for links), cleared the cart, rebuilt a smaller cart with the finalists.
    • I still had too many things for the coupon, so I kicked out the lowest priced items to maximize on the discount for expensive stuff that's normally out of reach.

    Don't forget to test a Debut New item in the cart, as that dropped the final price significantly in my case and essentially made the Debut New item a freebie.

    87% was the best I could do - with the 50% off, 3 punches and the coupon. Pretty attractive but, seemingly like you, only a handful of my WL items have the 50% off and most are the expensive base-price variety
