3501 Badges and 2.1 Billion tokens. How much did it cost?

[S1lent]

Greetings,
I just went over 3500 badges.

This is some ruff figures on what it cost>>>

About $375 in 80 Premium Albums...that might be low.

About $640 in 40 M&M Albums.

About $100 in Download Games.

About $200 in memberships...thanks to Subway for the free ones.

Autos...Well over the $300 from BadgeHelp and others.

Well $1615...Not too bad.

Countless hours.

YUP...I would do it again.

I have about 3300 badges (after I finish this last album) and it didn't cost me nearly as much.   I didn't jump on the MnM and Album bandwagon so quickly in the beginning and lost the opportunity permanently to get some badges. 

I almost always wait for the sales and I have shared premium games with others who shared theirs with me (I have all the premium badges).  It can be done for less.

The badges cost you roughly 50¢ a badge.  Not bad.  WTG on the badge numbers.  I'll never catch up to you - some badges are permanently retired. 

What are other people's experiences?

I only have 525 badges, 5 albums, 7 MnM badges and just under 10 million tokens.  Been a Club member for 3+ years now I think, without the Subway promo everyone got.

I haven't spent an actual cent of my own money on Pogo.

You could say the coke rewards points I use for Club access cost me money, but I'd buy Coke Zero anyway. You could say my time spent doing surveys and signing up for crap on their offers page has cost me my time, but it would have been wasted time anyway.
