I know I have been complaining a lot about the monthly items, and I had hoped or thought that it was getting at least slightly better with the amount of clothing. But now you introduce a pet, that's way more expensive, and not even one of the free bonus picks?! This is really getting ridiculous. If your aim is to scare away everyone who can't or doesn't want to spend money on this game monthly, you're doing a good job.
If, however, you're trying to make a balanced game that is also fun for those who don't have that extra cash to spare each and every month, you really gotta start rethinking this monthly shop thing.
