Animal Crossing Turnips: How to Buy Them at the Best Price

Animal Crossing turnips are one of the cornerstones of harvesting in the game. It's been hailed as a miniature stock market--or should we say "Stalk" market--in your own town.

Every Sunday, you will have the chance to encounter a roaming villager pig by the name of Daisy Mae. She will wander your town selling turnips for a certain price. Your goal when investing your bells into her product is to hold onto and then sell your turnips with Tom Nook's asking price is high enough.

Here's how to get the most bang for your bells when buying turnips in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Turnips: How to Buy Them at the Best Price

The price at which Daisy Mae will be selling her turnips varies from week to week. Typically, you can expect to pay over 100 bells for each. We recommend staying at or around this number if you're planning to invest. Additionally, if you're feeling confident, you may want to purchase as many turnips as you can afford. We'll leave the exact number up to your personal discretion.

To sell your turnips, you'll need to visit the Nooks in Resident Services. Timmy and Tommy will tell you the current asking price for turnips depending on the half-day. The price will change at midnight and noon. Your goal is to wait for the asking price to be higher than what you bought them for. Once this happens, unsurprisingly, we recommend that you should sell.

You can also coordinate with your friends to see who has the best asking price for bells at the moment. If you find a friend has a higher rate, you can migrate to their town and sell your turnips there.

Remember not to hang on to your turnips for very long. They will eventually spoil and go bad the following Sunday, so you'll need to buy more to keep playing the market.
