Remember...

  • Citizens of Shoppers' Island should be paying their parents and other family members or friends in Mini Society currency for any help, advice, and use of resources (such as scanners, printers, computers, etc.) that they are using for Mini Society purposes.
  • If you earn DotumChes to spend, you may shop on one of our upcoming Market Days, or use them to pay Shoppers' Island citizens for services they perform for you at home. Market Days will be announced once they start.
