There are several ways to get Bells Animal Crossing: New Horizons in, but buying and selling turnips is definitely one of the most interesting. Once you build Nook's Cranny, a character called Daisy Mae will begin to visit the island. She sells turnips, and you can buy them from her with a mind of selling them later, for a profit.
You can buy your turnips in sets of 10. When buying turnips for the first time, it may be a good idea to buy a single stack, so you get used to the way it all works without risking too many bells.
How and when to sell turnips
To sell your turnips, you will need to visit Nook's Cranny. They will offer a different price for turnips each day, so be sure to check back each day to see what the price is. Some days it will be less than what you paid, some days it will be more. The trick is to sell on a day when you will make a good profit. There can be a large variation in prices.
Some days you will be offered a third of what you paid for, and sometimes you will be offered double what you get paid. The Nooks will be buying turnips every day except Sunday, so don't wait that long or you won't be able to sell them, and the turnips will rot.
To find out how much they are offering, just talk to Timmy in Nook's Cranny, then decide whether you want to sell or risk waiting to see what the price will be tomorrow.
