Since there seems to be no protest, I will now post the new DD thread. Please give me a few to get everything posted before you tag the new thread. Keep up with the item and price listings right here and I will get them entered as soon as I get things up.
EDIT: Please please let me know if anything is missing, a date is wrong, an item needs a smiley face, anything at all needs a fix and I will get right on it
Ximph, thank you so much for taking on the responsibility. You're awesome!
Adrian, thank you so much for all the work you've put into this thread and the lists in the past, and for helping to build this great community. I do hope you'll continue to stick around and post!
If the DD doesn't have blank sales coming up it is NOT a new list. They probably are just mixing up the rotations again to try and keep people excited.

If I might make a suggestion, could we add a brief No-Math Guide to CYS before we dive into the detailed explanations? I think a lot of people get intimidated by the math and aren't sure what they can do to save SP. After digging through the math, I've found 3 simple rules that will always work, and will always save you SP.
If a set allows CYS credit:
1) If you don't own anything from the set, always buy the cheapest item in the set before buying the set, even if you have to pay full price.
2) Never buy an item with less than a 10% discount, unless it is the first item you buy.
3) Always buy an item with more than a 10% discount, even if the set is going to go on sale later for a better discount.
As long as you know those three rules, you can always save SP, even if you have no idea about the math under the hood that makes them work.

It is a new list. It's not the upcoming sales that go blank when they start a new list, it's the past sales, and the past sales went blank when Jet Set was up. When Jet Set ended, the active and upcoming sales were replaced with three different sales.

Sure you bet! I will add this to the posts in the front.

Thanks, hopefully people will find it useful.
Oh, you were quick. You posted this while I was making a quick edit to the first rule to make sure people knew that they only have to do it if they don't own anything from the set.

No worries, I got it. You can now see it on the first post so that people don't miss the handy info.

Looks like I missed a good deal on the Regal set. The living room is on sale and I have CYS for that of 175. Oh well!

I was waiting for the cheaper Stone's Throw Greenhouse sale. Knew I should have gotten the earlier one.
