Forgot to add there are 2 prices each day. AM price is 8am to 12pm/ PM price is 12pm to 10pm if your Nook store has been built.

Oh that's not a clicky link for me :(

BelleHathor · 17/05/2020 17:49

Yay! This is such a happy thread 😁. For all of you new to the stalk market the following website allows you to track / predict your own Turnip prices for the week. DD got a large spike last week and her Turnips were selling for 589 bells so we had 60 strangers visit! Made 3 million in tips 😉

Oh I see

Playdoughbum · 17/05/2020 15:36

Yes
But I was just getting the same fruit each time!

Crochetnanigans · 17/05/2020 14:59

Can't you use the nook miles tickets to visit mystery Islands without the subscription?

Playdoughbum · 17/05/2020 14:52

Yes but there’s 7 days free if you do it via your switch.

whatonearthmother · 17/05/2020 14:35

I have found my people! DD set up the island - big mistake!! If I want to travel to another island to get different fruit, do I need a Nintendo account??

wedding2020 · 17/05/2020 12:37

Can I join the WhatsApp too please? I’ll pm you my number. I just went to someone’s island on the turnip exchange and he was giving away loads of free stuff (including golden nuggets and nook miles tickets). I’m happy to share if anyone wants to come and help water my flowers? I’ve just planted loads trying my best to grow hybrids so any help watering would be really appreciated :D if you come, let me know what you want. I’m happy to share anything :) I’ll leave some watering cans near the airport so you don’t break your own :) please don’t run over the flowers or pick them.
Dodo code is 31H67

Just sent my number for the WhatsApp :) oooh thats good to know about the flowers. I arranged all mine in a checkerboard pattern last night and some have sprouted in the gaps this morning :)

Playdoughbum · 17/05/2020 11:49

Yes! I found stardew valley hit the spot too. Just that soothing rhythm of doing stuff. But this is more customisable. I’m excited to make my island pretty.

It's really helping with my mental health. I struggle with anxiety very badly and DH has been recommending this game for ages as he thought it would help. It really does! When I'm watering plants and catching fish, my brain stops freaking out for a bit.

Middle 30s mum and feel like I need to get w life but I love this game!

Playdoughbum · 17/05/2020 11:08

I feel such a loser. I’m an actual middle aged woman. Grown up kids, career etc ha ha. But I find it so soothing!

ashtyler · 17/05/2020 10:52

@Mseddy @Playdoughbum @Taddda @MilkchopsMcgee setting up a WhatsApp group now.

PM me your numbers Smile

I'm so excited about buying turnips 😂

Apparently if five other people water your flowers, there's more chance of hybrids and rare colours so we can do that too!

Playdoughbum · 17/05/2020 10:34

Thank you whoever just left pears etc.

MilkchopsMcgee · 17/05/2020 10:17

Thanks for the oranges, I'm going offline now but will be on this evening again so will post another code then

Playdoughbum · 17/05/2020 10:15

Thank you!
My character won’t speak apparently.

Mseddy · 17/05/2020 10:14

Left some oranges by the airport :)

Playdoughbum · 17/05/2020 10:11

Oranges would be nice? I have peaches, coconuts, and new apples/cherries since last night.

Mseddy · 17/05/2020 10:08

Thanks for the fruit milkchops. Popping over now playdough. What fruit do you need?

Playdoughbum · 17/05/2020 10:08

Found her.
92 bells.

Playdoughbum · 17/05/2020 10:04

Um
Where is Daisy Mae?
She doesn’t seem to be here!

Crochetnanigans · 17/05/2020 09:58

Mine first Sunday too! How much are you turnips please?
