Best way to spend coins
Hai,
just wanted to know the best way I should spend my pokecoins when I get enough to start buying things.

I prefer to go with permanent purchases such as Pokémon storage space or item storage space. To max both out takes quite a large amount of coins.
Besides the two above, the next thing I would buy are incubators, for hatching high IV mons.
Lucky eggs are not that useful because its value diminishes quite greatly after you hit Level 30. And even without lucky eggs, reaching Level 30 is not difficult.
Well I would say if you are below lvl 30, go get lucky eggs. Try to purchase 8 lucky eggs for 500 coins or even 25 lucky eggs if you are still far below lvl 30 and have enough coins as 80 coins / egg is not worth it. If you are above lvl 30, you may purchase pokemon storage, item storage, or incubators as well. I'm now lvl 32 and I have never mass evolved without a lucky egg active. I never bought item storage as in my region there are fewer pokestops as compared to US, Japan, and EU, so I guess whether item storage worth your coins depends on the region you are living.
It's interesting no one has suggested lure modules... guess those are only for the noobs? Even tho' it is more fun to play in a heavily lured area ... guess we all want the OTHER guy to place the lures, hmmm.
For me, item and PKM space has made the biggest difference, because it permanently improves the way you play the game (for areas where pokestops are not that common, filling the bags with hundreds of pokeballs lasts me for days) - and having more mon space means infrequent mass evolutions, or can hold onto disposable prestigers etc (like a raticate army!). I only buy one lucky egg at a time every few weeks, most of my coins go to incubators (but I also collect 100 coins/day, YMMV).
Because lure modules often times give you nothing more than a few more common mons than you would have got without one. I've used dozens of lure modules in the past. Never again. I also used about 100 Incense - if not more. I did catch a snorlax with incense, but that took months. It's the worst thing to spend your coins on.
I believe lucky eggs are no more or less important at any level. Just because it takes much more XP after level 30 to level up doesn't mean they are less useful. Some would argue that they are more useful at higher levels if leveling is important to you.
I agree with the trends above. Item space first, followed closely by mon space. I waited until level 28 or so before I increased my item cache. I dumped so many revives, berries, and potions to make room for pokeballs. So wasteful. My items usually total about 800-950 items at any given time.
Once you max out your item/mon storage just buy lucky eggs and incubators as you please. I don't think any on is more useful than the other, rather it depends more on what you want to get out of the game.
Whether you need bag space really depends on your style. I don't battle a lot of gyms, so I usually only need to carry about 40 max revives and 40 max potions. I delete the others and stock up on pokeballs and berries. My desk is on a pokestop, so I only need a few days worth of supply at any time.
Incubators are the most valuable for me. Not only because they give you high IV mons, but because they generate stardust and candies.
