Lots of cash? No room? Need to generate a ton of XP to meet those skyrocketing level requirements? Buy lots of Jukeboxes and then sell them back right away. Yes, that's right. Sell them back at 10% of the price just for the XP.
I stumbled upon this crazy idea while I was converting over several of my stalls to jukeboxes to counter the effect of the drastically increased XP requirement per level in the higher 40s. I was quickly plowing through level 47 just from the XP amount awarded on the initial installation. Once thing that has been bothering me about the insane increase in the XP requirements is that I really would like to allocate most of my Street Fair real estate to decorating, not plunking down row after row of duplicate stalls/items just to keep up with XP demand. This led to looking at other ways of spending coins to gain XP points. Here is what I found:
The Gift Stand is the weakest generator of XP per coins compared despite specifically being there to generate XP. Around 11.6 coins/XP at level 30 and 7.2 coins/XP at level 48. The Flower Garden, while capable of generating a ton of cash, puts out the same amount of XP. Pancake stalls rate a bit better. And the entertainers for hire? Not economical at all: 18.5 coins/XP at level 30 and 11.5 coins/XP at level 48; plus they take a whole day to cycle.
I ended up back where I started; the Jukebox. At level 30 a jukebox purchase will award you with 58,000 XP. At level 48 the award is up to 290,000 XP. So, we're looking at only 5.8 coins/XP. Comparatively, it would take around 5 days of cycling through for a jukebox to generate that much XP, plus take up space. It seems crazy to buy and resell items just for the initial XP award, but it makes a bit of sense when you are trying to conserve space and don't want a lot of duplicate junk stacked row after row. This method can be put into place without taking up any space and give you a quick boost to level up.
Calculation:
Item price minus 10% to account for resale value / XP awarded at purchase.
Any suggestions or other methods you have discovered?
Enjoy!

Snoopy's Cash Dash Tactics Part 1: Continuous Cash Flow
I've been experimenting with Snoopy's Cash Dash over the past two weeks and have developed a great method for effectively using this tool to greatly increase your progress in the Street Fair. The benefits are twofold. The first, which I will discuss in this post, is creating a continuous cash flow. The second, which will be discussed in Part 2, is for rapidly gaining experience points to level up.
You want to buy all those shiny new stalls and garden items for your Fair, but inevitably you always seem to be low on cash. I've learned to use Snoopy's Cash Dash almost like a cheat for creating a continuous flow of coins when needed. A word of warning: this will require some of your time and involvement, but that dedication will pay off in multiple ways. This method will work best once you have completed a few levels and are starting to expand your neighborhood and can be used as a large part of your income until you start approaching level 30. At that point you'll need to make some adjustments.
The first thing you'll need is at least one or two expansions. You're going to need a good deal of sidewalk real estate for this to start working. The second, of course, is the Cash Dash stall. The third piece is the Soda Machine; lots of them! The Soda Machine is by far the quickest and most cost effective money maker in the game. At only $300 per unit, it pays for itself in only 10 one minute cycles. Also, at 30 coins per minute (I'll refer to this as cpm) it is the best of the quick cycling stalls until you get to the much more expensive pinball machine. To develop a continuous coin flow from these ingredients follow these steps:
Like I mentioned before, this method will require some dedication, but you'll rack up coins quickly. Snoopy is going to need to be reset periodically since he can quickly get overloaded when taking in a lot of coins at once. You'll just needed to collect the coin from him and tap the COLLECT icon again to set him on his way. Since you obviously won't be doing this 24/7, you'll also want to place some higher earning long cycle stalls in your fair so there will be a decent amount waiting whenever you return to the game. Choconana stalls are good at lower levels, then upgrading to Roast Nut stands when you reach the appropriate levels. Character stalls are always a good option too.
In Part 2 of Snoopy's Cash Dash Tactics I'll discuss the second, and even more effective, benefit of this method: Collecting experience points! The money generated by this method may not be as beneficial as you level up, but gaining quick XP becomes even more important as you'll need 20-25% more XP with each level! Stay tuned!

To develop a continuous coin flow from these ingredients follow these steps:
- Start installing Soda Machines up an down an open section of sidewalk. The goal here is to have as many as possible in your fair. I set up 100 units.
- Start Snoopy's Cash Dash and see how long it takes him to gather all the coins. The key is to have enough units so that Snoopy doesn't finish his route before the stalls begin their next cycle. This way he stays out and creates a continuous flow of coins into your bank!
- Adjust your setup if needed to make sure Snoopy is staying out. Add more Soda Machines or move them to separate locations to make him travel farther. Another quick tweak is to toss in some other quick cycling units, such as Snack Carts or Watermelon stalls, to mix things up a bit.
