How to spend 2,300 pokecoins?
OK - I'm L37, and until now only used my free 50/100 pokecoins per day.
But, I got a slew of 'em for a holiday gift.
The first thing I did was max out my bag and pokemon storage. Did that.
Now, I have 2,300 left. What is the best way to spend them?
My first thought was premium raid passes - I've never used a premium raid pass before. But, I feel buying one now would be a ripoff - just last week they were offered in boxes - 6 of em for 480 coins. Now, they're 100 coins each...
I've spent a lot of coin in the past on egg incubators, which is a good, albeit boring investment.
I don't see much benefit in the other options. At L37, a lucky egg doesn't meaningfully get me closer to L38, and I catch mons easily already without lures or incense.

There's going to be special boxes in the upcoming event, so wait for the boxes before spending any coins. Since you don't want lucky eggs, your other options for consumables are incubators, star pieces or raid passes.
I don't find much use in incubators anymore. Previously I'd stock up on 10k eggs then incubate them all at once, and do a lucky egg spree when they were about to hatch but the extra XP isn't significant or necessary at higher levels, and unless you've got the money to be constantly running incubators, buying a few incubators won't make that much of a difference to your stardust in my opinion, you get a set amount of hatches and therefore a set amount of stardust (within a range).
So that leaves star pieces or raid passes. Even if you do have a lot of stardust, that doesn't mean you won't need more in the future. It's much easier to burn through stardust maxing out Pokemon than it is to farm it - levelling Pokemon from 20 to 40 costs 225k dust.
On the other hand if you're picky about what you power up, more raid passes gives you more chances of getting that perfect / near-perfect legendary that you consider to be worth maxing, as well as more chance of being invited to an EX raid.
Even if you're not going to use them all up immediately you're going to use them eventually if you're a frequent raider, so it makes more sense to buy a little more than you need until the next sale, than not enough and end up having to pay full price for one later on.
If you need Dranini , Larvitar candies, you can buy incubators and hatch 10k egges!if 50 cents can get you 27-32 those candies (double candy event 54 ), that will worth it!
If you like More than 1/day legendary raid, you can buy premium raid passes! This comes with rare candies, TMs, also very much worth it!
You can always wait for a deal to do it!
