Learn everything there is to know about turnips: what's the best price for selling turnips, turnip price patterns, and when to buy or sell turnips from Daisy Mae to easily make a profit and master Joan's Stalk Market!
List of Contents
Daisy Mae will sell Turnips from 5:00 AM to 12:00 Noon on Sundays in random locations around your island.
Turnip prices vary each week, often between 50 and 150 Bells. It's a good idea to buy Turnips under 100 Bells and to sell Turnips at 150 Bells.
If you're lucky, however, you can catch Timmy and Tommy at Nook's Cranny buying them for 500-600 Bells a piece! Use Dodo Codes to find a Stalk Market in your favour!

Turnips are sold by Daisy Mae in stacks of 10, so you won't be able to buy just a single Turnip – they'll be grouped together to save on inventory space.
With empty pockets, you can buy 9990 Turnips in one go — though you can always buy more so long as you have enough Bells!

The sell price for Turnips changes twice every day: one in the morning and one at 12:00 noon.
Since you can check two prices a day for a week, you have a total of 12 different sell prices each week.
Always check Nook's Cranny each day so you can easily determine the best possible sell price for your Turnips!
| Current Week's Pattern | Next Week Pattern Chance | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | |
| 1. Standard | Low | Mid | Low | High |
| 2. Sudden Spike | High | Low | Low | Mid |
| 3. Downward Trend | Mid | High | Low | Mid |
| 4. Slow Spike | High | Mid | Low | Low |
For the Standard Turnip Price pattern, the buying price repeatedly rises and falls, and generally results in a small profit.
If you bought Turnips and get the Standard pattern, it's recommended that you sell it when the price rises even a little.
The Sudden Spike pattern is a pattern where the buying price suddenly shoots up, and is the pattern that gives the highest profit!
Most of the time, the selling price peaks after the price has gone up twice in a row.
Note: We have repeatedly tested this and got the best price after 2 price bumps, but it's not a 100% guaranteed result.
The Downward Trend pattern is the hardest pattern to turn a profit, with the price starting low and continuously going down - often never once going up.
This pattern has one upside; the pattern following week has a high chance of becoming a Sudden Spike.
The Slow Spike pattern is characterized by a steady increase in Turnip Prices, and is the second best pattern to turn a profit on.
The best price is usually the one after the price has gone up 3 times.
Note: Most of our testing resulted in this, but it's not 100% guaranteed that the best price will appear after 3 price bumps.
Although you can sell Turnips throughout the week, it's a good idea to wait until the sell price is at least 50 Bells more than the price you bought them.
If it's afternoon on a Saturday, you'll want to sell your Turnips regardless of price. Any sale is better than your turnips rotting!
The sell price of Turnips sometimes goes higher than 500 Bells, though it's rare and isn't guaranteed to happen by any means.
It's better to stick to selling Turnips at 50 Bells higher than the initial cost since this will be more reliable.
However, you can always just use Dodo Codes to fly to islands with high buying prices!

The best times to sell Turnips is when you hit the Spike of either the Sudden or Slow Spike price patterns!
The best of the two is the Sudden Spike, but since the weekly patterns are mostly random and a matter of luck, it takes a long time to predict when it will happen.

This method requires Time Travelling. A player time travels to a day when Turnip prices are high, while the other time travels to Sunday when Turnip prices are low.
Both players will alternate visiting each other's islands to maximize the profits from selling Turnips!
Turnips can be sold in the Stalk Market, allowing you to reap huge profits. Buy turnips from Daisy Mae and sell them at Nook's Cranny and watch those Bells soar!
Turnips will rot one week after purchase, on the same morning Daisy Mae appears to sell them. The last opportunity to sell Turnips is at 10:00 PM on a Saturday evening.
If you Time Travel to try to avoid your Turnips rotting, they will rot automatically.
Rotten turnips placed on the ground will attract a swarm of ants, which you can then catch using a net!
You can sell Turnips at Nook's Cranny, but the Nooklings will only pay you 100 Bells for it.
Once turnips rot, they are as good as trash! Throw them in a garbage can to prevent island rating decrease.

Sadly, you cannot put Turnips in the storage, so if you buy a lot on Sundays, you will have to get creative.
You can bury Turnips to store them, although it's not recommended since it's a hassle to dig up and makes the island look less visually appealing.
You can also store your Turnips inside your house. If you have extra room, you can drop them on the floor.
Alternatively, you can place them on tables to avid decreasing your HHA score.
The last and best way to store turnips is to place them outside on your island as decoration. Get creative and create a turnip farm!
You cannot plant turnips. Turnips do not work like trees and flowers that grow when you bury them with a shovel.
Overall, while checking Turnip prices can be quite bothersome, the payoff of Bells makes buying Turnips worth it.
It's one of the best ways to earn Bells fast, which will put you one step closer to paying off your loans!
Turnips come in bunches of 10 so if you eat a Turnip, you're eating 10 at a time! While this increases your stamina to the maximum value, it's not a great return on investment.
