I've picked up a few items - mainly GT items. There are great deals to be had on artist store items - but I already bought everything in the Daz store. (OK, not ... everything, but you know what I mean.) I'm in need of a sale that includes wishlist items that are still "New" which, as I recall, hasn't really been a thing with the PA sale in the past either.
so the new releases today don't all discount to $7.99 each with todays golden ticket or am I reading it wrong as you also have to include a still gold golden ticket item as well to get the discount but what if you already owned/bought all the golden tickets does that mean no $7.99 discount with todays golden ticket
I doubt anyone buys every golden ticket in one of these sales. (I'm close. There were only 2 items in my catch-up page.)
...raises hand, I only I have those that are sets or props (though I did pick up RawArt's Nyxii - Robot Girl as she works fine "out of the box").

I'm in sort of the same situation as far as the store goes. I have a huge library of purchased content from DAZ, and I'm not a huge fan of stuff that's G9 only, so a lot of the new releases don't do much for me, while the way DAZ has restricted the Featured Artist sales to older products has me looking at a lot of empty or nearly empty stores. or ones filled with texture sets and expression packs. However, all of the GT's have been good enough bargains that I know I'll probably find a use for them eventually, and with the way the orange banner offers, tokens, and other promos keep breaking down, there's been enough of stuff in the FA sale that works out to be in the $2 to $3.50 price range, and I do try to support the artists who are still supporting G8 in new releases. So, I keep going back to all the Renderosity items that moved over and doing cross checks with Taozaen's DAZ/Renderosity duplicate utility and keep managing to find a few things that I didn't purchase when they were over there... today's cart has a couple of G8 outfits by DZheng and Sveva, for example. But yes, the end result is that this sale is definitely not in the same league as past FA sales have been for me personally.

I'm signed on for G9, but I mainly need hair and attire for male characters, for stories set in historic/retro settings, so pickings are slim for me.

I feel your pain. The number of vendors who make male clothing has become limited enough, but historically accurate clothes for either sex are just as hard to find. Heck, "historically accurate" anything that's not an ancient castle, tavern, or something to do with vikings, priates, or ancient Greece or Rome often means going back to assets that were made 10 years ago, and even contemporary clotihing goes through that weird DAZ filter where every other male outfit is either wearing shorts, a skintight bodysuit, or lacking a shirt. I mean, I get that the probability is that around 80% of what's done with DAZ at this point must be pin-up type work given what seems to sell, and I know that in the real world only 17% of the live fashion models are male, but in the real world the discrepency isn't nearly as extreme, with adult female clothing taking up a little over 50% of the market, adult male clothing taking up about 30% and the rest going to chldren.
I took advantage of today's offer and bought the Debut New "Lala Dunhuang Apsara Bundle for Genesis 9". Although it cost an extra Old Gold Ticket, it was still a good deal.
Today's promotion: Debut New $7.99 + Old Gold Ticket $4.99 = $12.98.
If purchasing only with tokens and a code, Debut New is $10.77 + Old Gold Ticket (previously $2.99) = $13.76.

My stories are generally set in "like our world, but not this world" locations, which gives me some degree of freedom when it comes to what's in those worlds. I still want "era-appropriate" to the modern eye, which leaves me picking through minimal offerings here at Daz for what are obviously times, places and things that have small potential markets. I definitely have sympathy for those looking for truly period-accurate items.

Saved money and tokens
yeah, but the offer is stupid anyhow. It brings the bundle down to 7.99$, but all other new releases as well which makes the pricier than with tokens.

Another week has rolled on by!
Here's your reminder to:
Good luck!
