For the first goal, you can always purchase any floor tile or wallpaper and the goal will count it. Every other goal, you must purchase the item it requests but the first on does offer some wiggle room for newer players. I (and most older players) have so many of each wallpaper that it's just easier for me to buy the new stuff instead, lol.

Could you please explain what you mean by "Don't forget to serve your Beehive ovens rather than build them?"
If you refer to the first post, I note that the goal tasks in our goal books have a typo in the first two goals that says Serve when it really means something else. This is a recurring typo that has been hanging around for months and can be confusing for new players who may not know and think they're meant to serve a recipe named Busy Bees rather than a buy a wallpaper with that name.
Sorry for the confusion AnnirasSweets, I've edited my original comment.
