How to unlock the Shopaholic achievement in Plants vs. Zombies - Definitive Guide

Money can be earned in many ways in PvZ. Minigames, Co-op Bowling, Adventure mode (Drops + end of level bonuses), the Zen Garden and more.

The shop unlocks shortly into Adventure mode, and by the end you should be getting close to obtaining this if you haven't already

To unlock this achievement spend a cumulative total of $25,000 on anything from Crazy Daves' trunk (This includes the slots for extra plants).
Your achievement should unlock as soon as you make the purchase to take you over.

Just wanted to say you should get this by the end of adventure mode, if not you should have enough soon after. The shop unlocks part way through the adventure mode.

Shop unlocks midway through pool levels so 3-4 I think just before the mini zombie game I think.

Anyone know if buying slots from Dave himself counts?

You CAN just play your favourite modes and eventually you'll get $25,000, however there's a faster way.
Play adventure mode until Crazy Dave unlocks his Trunk (Boot) at which point you won't be able to buy very much but fear not. Keep playing adventure mode until you unlock the Zen Garden. After that play around in other modes like puzzles and survival modes you'll occasionally unlock brightly coloured Presents, collecting them will award you with plants for your Zen garden.
At first buy marigold plants and fertiliser to improve your garden, now after only two visits to your garden you can sell your plants for $8,000 grand each.
*Note this is also the quickest way to grow your Tree of Wisdom to 100ft.

I found your solution misleading, Marigolds do not sell for $8, but rather $5k when fully mature. Honestly, I found it not worth buying any plants, as by the time you factor in time + cost of fertilizer + cost of plant, the profit margin just isn't worth the time it takes. Instead I only fertilized & sold plants I got while playing Last Stand, which is essentially free (save the cost of fertilizer), and gave a much bigger payback ($8K).

They were 8k when I did this mate, I wonder if a patch has altered the price, I'll look into it. Also don't forget that Marigolds periodically produce money that you can collect.

This can be earned quickly after you complete the game. If you use the marigold plant on the early levels in between your sunflowers (which you can upgrade with twin sunflower so you need less). The marigold spits out gold and silver coins (and once I had a few it was doing emeralds so I think they accumulate).

This achievement can be unlocked by purchasing items in twiddydinkies using the coins you obtain by killing zombies. I recommend buying plants, as they will help a ton if you're playing story mode and they will add some progress to this achievement.

This will unlock after spending $25,000 in the shop, just keep speeding money in the shop once it unlocks during adventure mode.

Will be obtained by the time you purchase all plants.

This will come naturally when working towards every other trophy in the game such as buying the Tree of Wisdom, all plants and slots for the missions. $25,000 might seem like a lot but it's really not in this game.

To earn coins:

  • Zen - Water and grow your plants in the Zen Garden, a fully grown plant will give $1-2k after the last fertilization. Than can be sold for $5-8k. Mid-grown plants sell for $3k
  • Mini-games and Puzzles - Completing a mini-game, puzzle, survival wave, etc. will reward you with some decent cash. Play a few for a quick buck.
  • Marigolds - Marigolds spawn coins so if you'd like to implement them into your play style feel free to.

There's many more ways to make money but don't worry about this, it will come naturally.

Trunk diving simply means spending cois to buy items from the shop. This will be obtained while going for the 'Master Of Morticulture' trophy as there are 9 plants that you need to buy from Crazy Dave to obtain all 49 plants.

To spend coins you will first need to have collected some. Coins can be collected in a few different ways:

1 - Coins will randomly drop from killed zombies
2 - Planting Marigolds
3 - They can be obtained from plants you are growing in your Zen Garden, by either watering them, fertilizing them or selling them

You can access Crazy Dave's shop a few different ways:

1 - From the main screen scroll right and press on Shop
2 - When in the Zen Garden or with The Tree Of Wisdom press to enter the Shop
3 - Between rounds you can press to enter the Shop
