Some stardollar saving tips for Superstars (and other tips as well)

Have you been short on stardollars lately? Seen a new collection of LE on sale on starplaza but couldn't afford one since your money is just.... *hides* 1 stardollar? Fret not, for i am happy to share some tips on saving money in stardoll (as well as apply what i've learned from my Economics classes). -yeehee!!!

1. Make a "shopping list"
when you become superstar, browse around on the starplaza, minishop as well as the magazine of stardoll(to check out upcoming clothes that you might like). Then open up another tab and go again to stardoll. Then list out all the clothes and things you want in the starblog. Then allot how much you would spend a day on buying things for how long you're gonna be a superstar. First, priotize the rarer ones, sales as well as the ones that were about to be kicked out from the starplaza real soon. Like i made one that will last me for a month and the budget for all those were around less than 150 stardollars- including some DKNYs that were on starplaza.

example of a shopping list-shortened version-:
(1 month superstar with 250 stardollars)
examples of prices on the things listed that were for example on sale in the starplaza
Faith Hill dress- 15 SD Hot Buys flats- 5 SD
Magic books- 3 SD Inspired by Karin Feller necklace- 5SD
Idoru tshirt- 6 SD Dot white eyeshadow- 5 SD
Heidi Klum necklace- 8 SD Lady Gaga bag- 5 SD
Maggie Cheung dress- 8 SD DKNY bag- 12

day 1 - Faith Hill dress (15-5=10)<--- the one on the parenthesis is your expected spenditure
2 - make up table+ Idoru tshirt (8+6= 14-5=9)
3 - magic books+ hot buys flats+ Maggie Cheung dress (3+5+8=16-5=11)
4- Lady Gaga bag+Inspired by Karin Feller necklace (5+5= 10-5=5)
5- Dot white eyeshadow+ DKNY bag+ Heidi Klum necklace (5+12+8= 25-5=20)
etc...

tip: It's also a bonus if you play play-for-stardollars games that gives you 5 stardollars to spend on for the day. It saves you 5 stardollars from your spenditures. Also, writing or even reading your starblog helps increase starpoints.

Why make a shopping list?
Like in everyday life, having a shopping list helps you out economically since it makes you focus more on what you really need(but in the case of stardoll-wants) than having without since without a shopping list, it might tempt you to buy things that will either mismatch with your clothes or furnitures on the house or something that will end up not being worn for a long time and won't be bought hotly by starbazaar raiders after it phases out on the starplaza.

2. play everyday on Play and Earn games. Something really good- Math challenge. not only it helps you get stardollars but also it helps you in school by enriching your math skills
or if you are really a math whiz or just hate math, try out the Globetrotter game especially if you want to be aquianted with the countries in the world and where Turkmenistan is.

3. Invest on good stardoll stuffs that could potentally be a rare in the future. If you are a superstar, buy some DKNY that you can afford or some good looking voile dress that you could use in the long term, get tired of wearing it someday that you decided to sell it for a high price because of it's demand. The more supplies/wares/awesome stardoll stuffs you had, the higher the price should be. But when the demand is really... demanding, lower it up a little bit to bust out competition with other superstars selling it. Just make the deducted stardollars up by selling a not so rare dress with the price you deducted. That kind of strategies were called in economics "Law of supply" and "law of demand". The former meaning if the supply is plenty, the producers should put up a high price so that more money will come. Then the latter means that if the demand is high, the lower the price should it become so that more customers could think of buying from you than the others since it would save them more money.

4. Join competitions- especially those competitions made by stardoll. Make a very beautiful scenery, paperdoll album, a very nice suite or medoll. Also join those themed competitions by stardoll like the ones in the stardoll magazine.

5. Be wary of cheats- especially those "free 1,000,000 stardollars, free rare, free mka, free dkny" offers. Who knows those were attempts on hacking you. If you fall into their trap, you might lose than gain. Quite ironic?
