The DD list offers a few items from the Runway Riot set and I managed to get the complete set for only 5 SP when it was on the Daily Deal yesterday. I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this set before, but here is an inexpensive way to complete it.
DD 007: Zippy Sweater (22 SP) DD 068: Electro-Dance Top (23 SP) DD 079: Top Athletes Only (38 SP) DD 262: Tight Tee (23 SP) * DD 385: Diva Suit (35 SP) DD 123: Runway Riot (5 SP)
* I bought Music Video Vixen for 75 SP as my first item from this set, but buying DD 262 Tight Tee for 23 SP should work too, because the normal price for this item is also 75 SP.

So that's 146 SP instead of the normal 1400!
Excellent Deal Stalking Skills, congrats!
I'll take this opportunity to remind everyone that with regard to buying the first item from a set that you are chasing you'll get the best results from buying the cheapest item. The maths (not done by me!):
"Normally each item you buy only reduces the set price by 90% of the cost of the item but for the first item you also get a bonus of 10% of the whole set price. When you buy the first item in a set, your discount is equal to (10% of the Set Price) - (10% of the item cost)."
Thank you! I still find it difficult sometimes, but I'm getting there :) It certainly helps that there are so many nice people here to help, as well as a lot of great info.
@equuest Are there certain sets that you really like? It's also possible to work on multiple sets at once. If you go back to the first page of this thread, you'll see that some sets have a lot of overlap. For example Best of 2010 and Island Escape.
Have you used the DD spreadsheet before? That will give you a lot of information on when certain sets or individual items appear on the list. Together with Elianahere's Daily Deal CYS Calculator and all the information on the forums, it will help you get the sets you like for a lot less SP's.
That's awesome @equuest Don't forget to check the following related sets: Jan 2012 (also check New Year, New Kitchen to see if it helps u get Jan 2012 cheaper); Enchanted Bundle of Dark Dealings and April 2012

Wooo~ It's been a long while since I have gotten anything new from Sims 3 store (above a year! Yet all those free sets completed because of DD+CYS are so awesome, thanks so much EA and simmers). I was kindly given "redeem free SimPoints" at profile page, so I've decided finally giving myself something new to play in game.
Seeing Surf's Up and Fun Collection at Daily Deal's, was 1,540 SimPoints now 406 SimPoints. Following some advices from this post (which I read a bit since yesterday).
I purchased the "Cutest Ruffles Ever" for 50 SimPoints, then I continue to purchase "Surf’s Up Sun & Fun Wave Station" with its current sale price at Weekly Special: 242 SimPoints (29 % Off, 342 SimPoints)
Then process download the "Surf's Up and Fun Collection" at Daily Deal for 15 Simpoints ~ Hooray~
Total spent for this Cascading thanks to Complete your set system = 307 SimPoints. Decent bargain :D
That's great @Istongo I'm not sure what else you own, but don't forget to check your CYS on Sandy Shoals Sea Shanty (Featured Look) under sets. The wave station helps
I now Own the Store!!...Thank you to everyone who helped me get here
:) Yes I also checked that @simgeek79 , thanks for reminding me once again, at 46% of that set. Original/Gift Price:1,500 SimPoints Your Price:*415 SimPoints It will be free once it will be listed on sale/daily deal with good discount. I am waiting :-D
Hi @Clayworld it can be confusing sometimes too to realize what impact a set has on another set or combo / compilation. The best thing to do is click on an item you own, click on View Full Item Details. When the item page shows up, at the bottom it may say "Also Part of s Set" and it is is in more than one, it will have arrows on either side that you can click on to see. Then you can check each of those sets to see what impact if any the item has had on your CYS. Also, don't forget when you buy a set off of the DD never buy it off of the DD page. Always click on the set name to take you to the set page so that you get a further discount based on what you may already own of that set (only on CYS enable sets).
Have you tried the Animals Abound Cascade outlined in the first post? If not, let me know if you need any help bringing that CYS down
