Not receiving credit for already bought items to complete goals

I bought the petal tables and stools yesterday before the goal was available to me. I thought that if I went ahead and bought them that they would automatically be counted and "check marked" once I made it to that goal. However, it's saying that I still need to buy the tables and chairs. Has anyone had this happen? I bought six of each and I really don't think I should have to buy four more? Thank you.

You have to get the goal first for an item to be counted towards it. The goal doesn't recognize what you already have in storage so be careful next time... :)

Boo:-( Thank you! At least they are pretty lol. I would hate to have to buy more tables I didn't like;-)

Some goals may be retroactive and will automatically complete, but some are not, so you will have to purchase the items again to complete the goal.
