I've only bought a few premium plants, and I only did it because they were on sale for around $0.99 (except for Sap-Fling because I wasn't sure if it was going to come back so I had to buy the bundle that was REALLY expensive), PopCap could at least give us those kind of deals more often.

It looks like plants that cost $2.99 get 30% and 60% off deals ($1.99 and $0.99), while $3.99 plants get 25% and 50% off deals ($2.99 and $1.99). Snow Pea got a special $0.99 deal once, and Sap-fling never had any deals as far as I know.

This means even in the best case-scenario where you buy every plant when they are giving you the best deal, you still end up paying:

$0.99 x 6 + $1.99 x 4 + $3.99 (Sap-fling) = $17.89 for all plants

+

$2.99 x2 + $3.99 x2 = $13.96 for all upgrades

= $31.85

That's quite a bit of money for a mobile game.
