glad you found it @rionismyname If there is a particular cascade you're confused about, please let me know and I'll try to help. If there is a set or compilation you're interested in, all you need to do is buy the deals listed out underneath their names. You should definitely get the Animals Abound glitch listed at the very top of the first post in this thread. It will give you the entire Kids 2010 compilation. The general idea behind cascades is that when you buy something on sale on the DD, it will impact the price of the set it is in. So basically, I've tried to find some of the best bargains on the DD, so that when you buy something it gives you a big discount on another set.
Also, I have a link to this thread in my signature, so if you ever see me posting on the DD thread, you can always just click the link in my signature to get here.
Yay @rionismyname glad u found it!! I posted some tips on how to use the spreadsheet on my Weekly Sale page in this forum a little while back as it can be quite overwhelming when u first open it. I'll post a link when I get home from work
Have a great day
I now Own the Store!!...Thank you to everyone who helped me get here

Sorry for the delay @rionismyname and @gnlovew ...my kids wanted to watch a movie and then have a family game night... here's the link I was telling you about...hope it helps. Let me know if you have any questions
I truly miss the spreadsheet I used to always have that open in a tab, along with Eliana's calculator (not sure if you've used that Rion but it tells you what your cost will be when a set comes up on a DD based on your current CYS. You can then play around with different values to see how much of a set you need (in total points not percentage) in order to get it free. Here's the link to the Calculator .
Have a great weekend...won't be on the forums much - lots going on here but so happy your hubby replaced your laptop so quick @gnlovew and @rionismyname happy you're getting lots of green downloads...enjoy the DD experience, I'm sad my time is over so fast...glad I dragged my last few sets out waiting for the best deals...will be done this Sunday ahhhh....good times....good times...Lol. Sorry for hijacking your thread Leslie
Good night all...

While looking at the Coffee Bean Hipster Loft cascade, I noticed that the Eloquently Eclectic Collection should be free without doing the Animal's Abound Cascade. The four items from Itadikamisu (SPV 418) and the DD #661: No Nonsense Desk (26/121/79%) look to be enough for DD# 59: Eloquently Eclectic Collection (474/1895/75%). You might be able to find another item that is cheaper. I just chose this one.
Also DD #681: Stacked Planters (19/49/61%) could replace DD #425: Safer Than Safe End Table (17/50/66%).
@LadybugLeslie very nice thread you got here
I like to point out to does that aim to get gifted to get the free sets, some of us gifters only gift from clean wish lists (lists with no doubles)
so the esies way to get gifted and use the CYS is to have just enough single items from the set on your list, that it will be CYS free (maybe on a DD) I used to start with about half the items. Ofcourse you then don't have the set on the wish list.
So haveing a list on your desk/computer with sets and complications you like might be a handy way of rembering and doing check ofs.
that said I'm hosting a nomination game, where you can get your friends or random people gifted.... all that is needed is that they have a clean wish list and you then nominat them.
I love how the CYS makes it posible to in reality gift a set in many small gifts.....
Oh my gosh, it is SO helpful to have all of the cascade information in one place, like this!! I am just learning all about the daily deals and how to save in the store, and this thread has been so great. Thank you!

No more wishlist for me! It disappeared in a poof of gift-giving smoke!
> Front Row Center + Wretched Threads-- 145 sp > - DD# 250: Front Row Center Bedroom (113 sp) > - DD# 375: Front Row Center + Wretched Threads (32 sp)-- 1600 sp set for 145 sp!
This can actually be further improved: - DD #760 You Spin My Time -- 7 sp -- This brings DD #250 to 82 sp from 113 sp! - DD #807 Hit The Bookshelf -- 31 sp -- This should bring DD #250 to 17 sp from 82 sp if I am calculating right.
So 7 + 31 + 17 + 32 = 87 sp down from 145 sp for the 1600 sp set. :smile:
I'm not sure, but I also wonder if DD #30 -- Stylin' Saggy -- 32 sp or DD #(Edit: 227) -- Tough as Nails Teen -- 26 sp would be enough to trigger DD #375 for free. So the total would be either 87 sp (with DD #30) or 81 sp (with DD #267) for Front Row Center + Wretched Threads.

Buying DD #30 Stylin' Saggy 32 sp/75 spv) or DD #227 (corrected) Tough as Nails Teen (26 sp/75 spv) will give enough spv (32) to get - DD# 376: Front Row Center + Wretched Threads for free.
Remember to find the final price you pay for a set, you can use Eliana's calculator linked on one of these threads. The calculation as someone post earlier is:
0.9 x [original or discounted price of set - sum value (not discounted price) of all individual items purchased] = final price.
Thanks, I just wasn't totally sure about how much either of those two items actually affected the CYS for DD #375. Sometimes I've seen some oddities in the CYS discount thanks to some past price changes.

- DD #807 Hit The Bookshelf -- 31 sp -- This should bring DD #250 to 17 sp from 82 sp if I am calculating right. This actually brought the Front Row Center CYS to 315 sp. This means that the DD #250 to 12 sp, but with rounding, it should be 10 sp for Front Row Center.
So for 48 points, I should be getting Front Row Center instead of 113 sp. Yay!
And with DD #227, I'll get Front Row Center + Wretched Threads for a total of 74 sp for the 1,600 sp set! Yay!
So, here is my contribution to this wonderful thread. Thank you @LadybugLeslie for making this thread.

The above three should make DD #914 free.
