Animal Crossing Turnip Guide: Daisy Mae, Turnip Prices & Selling Tips

Open controller inputs →

ANIMAL CROSSING TURNIP GUIDE Turnips are one of the most recognizable ways to try to make Bells in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The basic idea is simple: buy turnips from Daisy Mae and try to sell them later for more than you paid. DAISY MAE Daisy Mae visits on Sunday to sell turnips. Your buying price becomes the starting point for deciding whether later selling prices are attractive. TURNIP PRICES CHANGE Nook's Cranny can buy turnips for different prices during the week. That means the value of your turnips can rise or fall after you buy them. Track prices rather than assuming the first offer you see is good. WHEN TO SELL The goal is to sell above your purchase price. However, waiting longer can create risk. A higher price may appear later, but it may also fall. Decide based on: • Your original purchase price • Current selling price • Time remaining in the week • How much risk you are willing to take • Whether you can check prices again later TURNIPS SPOIL Turnips do not last indefinitely. Nintendo notes that unsold turnips rot when the next Sunday arrives. That makes timing important. Holding out forever for a better price can turn a potential profit into a complete loss. HOW MANY TURNIPS SHOULD YOU BUY? Do not spend more Bells than you are comfortable risking. A larger purchase creates more potential profit, but also increases the amount you could lose if selling prices remain poor or you forget to sell. TRACK YOUR PRICES Write down the prices you see during the week. You can also use Nintendo's NookLink Island Newspaper, which may show changes in turnip prices. Tracking makes it easier to see whether your options are improving or getting worse. SELLING ON ANOTHER ISLAND If multiplayer access is available, another player's island may sometimes offer a better selling opportunity. Always follow normal multiplayer safety and etiquette when visiting other islands. TURNIP STORAGE Turnips occupy space. Plan where you will keep them so they do not interfere with normal inventory management. COMMON TURNIP MISTAKES • Spending nearly all your Bells on one purchase • Forgetting the Sunday deadline • Selling immediately without checking prices • Waiting too long for an unrealistic price • Forgetting how much you originally paid • Buying more turnips than you can manage easily TURNIP CHECKLIST 1. Check Daisy Mae's purchase price. 2. Decide how many Bells you are willing to risk. 3. Record the purchase price. 4. Check selling prices during the week. 5. Compare the offer with your cost. 6. Decide whether to sell or wait. 7. Do not carry unsold turnips into the next Sunday. Turnips can be profitable, but they are not guaranteed profit. The price can move against you, so treat each purchase as a calculated risk rather than free Bells.
