Dilemma solved?

insaneladybugSo I think my main frustration with those dolls is that, at least for Sweetie Drops, I just don't like the Everfree release of her. The clothing she's wearing is so strange. I've never seen anyone other than a kid wearing something like that. At least, if I'm clearly seeing what she's wearing. The style isn't appealing to me at all. Not that I like everything the dolls I have are wearing, but Sweetie Drop's thing just really rubs me the wrong way. I also don't like that Lyra doesn't have bangs, but her clothes are pretty cool, so I'd probably be fine with either doll of her.
But I decided randomly to see what Amazon was charging for the Rainbow Rocks releases, because I previously thought it had been a lot, and it's not bad. They're around $10-11 each. More importantly, the Friendship Games dolls I wanted of Lemon Zest and Sunny Flare are wonderful prices. Sunny Flare is even an add-on item. I wish I'd known that earlier and I would have added her to the Pokemon DVD set. Not having known and just having discovered it today, I've been debating all day whether to do another Amazon order and get the dolls or not. I thought I had to already have $25 in the cart before adding an add-on, but when I tested things and added products, it looks like they'll let me get it if the add-on just barely pushes it to the $25 amount.
So now I'm considering that since I really wanted the Friendship Games dolls, and I like the Rainbow Rocks release of Sweetie Drops but either Lyra is okay, that maybe I'll do an order with three dolls, just barely pushing it to $25, and leave Lyra out of it for now. Then I'll decide what to do about her after my birthday. I want to make sure I have plenty of money for the shopping spree, so getting anything past the $25 limit doesn't seem like a good idea right now. Of course, it would probably be better to get nothing until after my birthday, and maybe I'll still decide that, but the problem is that the prices fluctuate so much that by then they might not be as good. The other problem is, what if I find the dolls somewhere on my birthday for a better deal, like at T.J. Maxx or something. However, I'm pretty sure they've moved past this doll line and probably are on Everfree, so it's highly unlikely that would happen.
I'm thinking I probably wouldn't do anything right now if it wasn't for the Friendship Games dolls. I really got excited to see them at good prices and I don't feel conflicted about this order like I felt about the Everfree doll order for weeks. Usually when I finally don't feel conflicted, I've finally hit on what I want (even though I'm prone to waffling about it after ordering many times). So unless I change my mind in the next bit, I'll probably try placing this order.
... On the other hand, while I'm not conflicted about wanting these dolls, I am conflicted about whether ordering them right now is the best option. I'm still trying to help with groceries, so there's that in addition to wanting to have money for the shopping spree. I've been getting steady work from a client on Textbroker, which has been epically awesome, but I don't know how long that will last and I'm trying to be pretty careful with money even though right now things are pretty good for me personally. So ... the debate goes on.
