Agreed, Buying initially gives 1 free item then it takes 29 to complete Stage 1, then another 45 to complete Stage 2, and then 60 more to complete Stage 3 the final stage. This is how they encourage the player to increase the number of neighbours or facebook friends to play along, thus you rely on other neighbours posting their sharing items to the newsfeed as well as sending daily free gifts. You might think about increasing your friends list, this is what I had to do myself to get started.
