How to Make a Lot of Money in Animal Crossing City Folk

"Animal Crossing: City Folk" has numerous ways to make bells, the unit of money in the game. Most of these methods do not make much money for the amount of time it takes. The best method of making a large quantity of money is to take advantage of the services of Joan, the traveling turnip merchant. Buying the red turnip and a large quantity of white turnips can give a substantial profit without much time and effort. The red turnip alone will give a 15,000 bells profit every week.

Things You'll Need

1000+ bells
Watering can

Instructions

- 1
  Find Joan wandering around town on Sunday between 6 a.m. and 12 p.m. She has a backpack full of turnips.
- 2
  Buy the red turnip seeds from her. These will cost 1,000 bells. She may have already sold these seeds if you wait too long to talk to her.
- 3
  Buy as many white turnips you can until you have no more bells or no more room in your house to store more. Each white turnip will cost between 90 and 110 bells.
- 4
  Plant the red turnip seeds anywhere on the ground. Choose a location that is convenient to remember.
- 5
  Water the red turnip seeds with the watering can every day. The seeds will die if you do not.
- 6
  Check the price of white turnips every day at Nook's shop twice a day, once before and once after noon. The price he will buy white turnips will be between 30 and 700 bells. Sell all of your white turnips if the price is above 400 bells. White turnips spoil at the end of Saturday, so waiting for a price much higher risks losing all the money invested if you get unlucky with Nook's prices.
- 7
  Dig up the red turnip on Saturday.
- 8
  Sell the red turnip to Nook. You will receive 16,000 bells as long as it was watered every day.
