True, but I usually buy the grains, cause they're the cheapest. Plus, what else to spend money on?

Yeah, there really isn't much else to spend the money on once you advance in the game grin

In the beginning, it's best to stick to the necessities so organics aren't the best of choice since it'll take forever to get that money to increase >_<

I was thinking about this topic and I wondered: Lyssaria, did you buy all the categories of food in the regular and organics, or did you just use one type?

My peeps have over 20,000 in food and they STILL ask for different kinds of groceries. I buy equal amounts of each category (grains, meat, dairy and veggies...organics). I wonder if I stick with all veggies or all dairy if this will stop their complaining! lol

PS: I clean out the fridge every time the $5 career helper or the power outage comes along, but it hasn't seemed to help get rid of the request for different kinds of food.

I believe the "different kind" of food they are asking for are fruit and candy. A gentle reminder from them to you for your praise.

I personally believe (based on watching my own game) is that they ask for new groceries when you have more than roughly 1000 units available. If you stockpile, even the most delicious things get boring after a while wink

I always buy them different types of organics, but they do get bored of organics overall and start craving the regular groceries.

I can definitely sympathize with them, I get tired of certain groceries all the time grin

I am VERY impressed with your experiment. I am a newbie (Second Generation) and have just started to be able to afford organics most of the time. Now I will know to continue buying them! Thanks!

When I see them heading for the computer to send me an email, I pick them up and move them!! I KNOW you want different kinds of groceries!!

In one of my families, I'm going to try buying one of each, orgaic and regular, to see if the complaints slow down or stop.

And maybe I'll let them use up what they have and not stockpile so much....but with over 10,000,000...what else can I do with my money! lol

I wish the peeps would recognize BB's meals...they ARE getting different food every day!! lol
