Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Tomorrow morning at 3am ET, 8am GMT, the Black Friday rebates start up in our stores…where every hour starting Friday and running until very early Monday morning, another item will appear in the shops to purchase for a rebated donut price!
As I promised I would do in our Black Friday Rebate Reveal Post, I’m going to breakdown each item for you the day before they’re set to appear in the stores. So you can make a decision on what you’d like to buy and be prepared to grab it.
So here’s where you’ll find the quick links to the previous Should I Buy Posts on each item, as well as my current opinion on each item. Just remember…it’s all about what you like and want in your Springfield. There may be something that you love, that I hate. That’s how the world works. So get what you like because, you like it…
Now on with the list!
Here’s the breakdown for the items that will appear TOMORROW Friday, November 25th starting at 3am ET, 8am GMT

Now let’s break em down…
Item: Gorgeous Grampa Billboard
Donut Price: 50 Donuts, Rebate 30 Dounts, Net Price 20 Donuts (I’ve got to double check this price tomorrow, it originally was 40 donuts…)
What Does It Do?: Decoration for Springfield, earns 2% bonus on all cash and XP
My Opinion On It Now: 2% bonus for the Net donuts spent is a great price. If you’re into bonus % and making yours as high as possible, grab this one.
Item: Big Butt Skinner Balloon
Donut Price: 110 Dounts, 30 Donut Rebate, Net 80 Donuts
What Does It Do?: Decoration for Springfield, flies in the air (stationary). Earns a 2% bonus on all cash and XP.
My Opinion On It Now: PASS. Overpriced, under bonus % valued. PASS.
Item: Murderhorn
Donut Price: 250 Dounts, 125 Donut Rebate, Net 125 Donuts
What Does It Do?: Decoration for Springfield, as 1 task for the questline on. After that it’s not used. Earns a 5% bonus on all cash and XP
Previous Post: Should I Buy
My Opinion On It Now: While the reduced price is nice…it’s still not worth it. 125 donuts for a 5% bonus may seem like a great deal..BUT if you buy 3 items at 40 donuts each that offer a 2% bonus (like the Police Car..) that’s 6% for 120 donuts. The Murderhorn just isn’t worth it. So even at the discounted price (unless you absolutely love it and have to have it) PASS…
Item: Old West Sign
Donut Price: 35 Dounts, 10 Donut Rebate, Net 25 Donuts
What Does It Do?: Decoration for Springfield, earns a 1% bonus on all cash and XP
Previous Post: Should I Buy
My Opinion On It Now: Meh. I didn’t think it was that great during the Wild West Event, and I’m still not to keen on it today. The reduced price is nice, but it’s still a meh in my opinion. I’d pass.
Item: Dewey Largo & Lotto ‘N’ Liquor
Donut Price: 150 Donuts, 60 Donut Rebate, Net 90 Donuts
What Does It Do?: Your typical building/premium character combo
Previous Post: Should I Buy
My Opinion On It Now: Any time you can get a premium character and building combo for 100 donuts or less it’s a must buy. This is no exception…EXCEPT…if you’re low on donuts and you’re not a big Dewey fan. There’s more stuff coming between now and Christmas, limited-time stuff. Dewey will still be in your store in January (although at the higher price), so if you’re not 100% sold on him pass and save your donuts for the next thing. If you like the character, have plenty of donuts and are looking for a good character/building combo to purchase…this is it. So grab it before it’s gone.
Item: Willie’s Tractor
Donut Price: 35 Donuts, 15 Donut Rebate, Net 20 Donuts
What Does It Do?: Animated decoration for Springfield. Offers a .75% bonus on all cash and XP
Previous Post: Should I Buy
My Opinion On It Now: Meh. Freemium players should pass. Premium players, it’s a toss up. My thoughts remain unchanged from 2015…
Item: Blarney Castle
Donut Price: 115 Donuts, 40 Donut Rebate, Net 75 Donuts
What Does It Do?: Premium building for Springfield (earns $200, 22xp/8hrs), but does not have a permanent task for characters. (questline though)
Previous Post: Should I Buy
My Opinion On It Now: This is another meh for me. If you’ve been wanting this one now is a great time to get it, but it’s over priced and WAY under used. So in my mind, it’s still a pass.
Item: Springfield Animal Shelter
Donut Price: 60 Donuts, 20 Donut Rebate, Net 40 Donuts
What Does It Do?: Premium building for Springfield (earns $90, 10xp/4hrs). Short questline, but no permanent tasks.
Previous Post: Should I Buy
My Opinion On It Now: PASS, unless you really love animals. Your return for donuts spent is very minimal. If it came with a task I’d say grab it, because 40 donuts for a building is a great price. But without an permanent tasks it’ll just sit unused…
Item: Moe’s House
Donut Price: 110 Donuts, 30 Donut Rebate, Net 80 Donuts
What Does It Do?: Premium building for Springfield (earns $135, 15xp/4hrs). Short questline, and Permanent task for Moe (16hrs)
Previous Post: Should I Buy
My Opinion On It Now: I like this one (and I even paid the 110 donuts for it). I like that it comes with a task for Moe, and even poor Moe deserves a home!
Item: Daredevil Bart & Springfield Gorge
Donut Price: 250Donuts, 125 Donut Rebate, Net 125 Donuts
What Does It Do?: Premium decoration for Springfield and premium skin for Bart. 5% bonus on all cash and XP. Homer has a HILARIOUS task there, once the questline is complete.
Previous Post: Should I Buy
My Opinion On It Now: I’ve been waiting to buy this one for awhile now. While I don’t need another premium skin for Bart, Springfield Gorge is such an iconic item from Simspons History, I need it in my Springfield. However, I’ve always felt 250 donuts was WAY over priced for this one. But 125 donuts is much more palatable for me. So I’m grabbing this one, simply for the iconic factor.
Item: Football Uprights
Donut Price: 50Donuts, 30 Donut Rebate, Net 20 Donuts
What Does It Do?: Decoration for Springfield, originally free during Tap Ball.
My Opinion On It Now: Pass, unless you really love football. Overpriced for what they are…especially since they were originally free.
Item: Santa’s Little Helper
Donut Price: 150Donuts, 75 Donut Rebate, Net 75 Donuts
What Does It Do?: Originally just an NPC, but he’s since had tasks added that pay a premium rate. Although none are outdoor tasks.
Previous Post: Should I Buy
My Opinion On It Now: This is a good opportunity to get a missing piece to the Simpson family. 150 donuts for SLH is way over priced, but 75 is more reasonable if you’re looking to complete the Simpsons family.
