Good ways to make consistent bells?

[Sansy]

wait, they did not sell for that much in previous entries of AC, did they??
I didn’t bother to catch them because I thought they didn’t give much

Yup, in New Leaf that type of butterfly didn't sell for much, you aren't dreaming. I just checked the price in New Leaf and apparently, they only sold for 220 bells! Big price increase in New Horizons.

My main way to get money is turnips. As long as youre ok with the hell of buying every turnip, putting them all down, finding someone online who has a high price who you can sell them to you can get toooons of bellls

Lol you said a naughty word!

But yeah, Pea.. Pea-thingy butterflies for the win. That and fishing.

turnips, selling fruits, and saving those rare fish & bugs until CJ/flick visit your town makes quick bells tbh. money trees are a bit slower, but anything that will help can make you pay that loan or inclines in no time. it's actually easier than i thought it would be.

I have a large fruit orchard that I harvest from. gives a pretty good amount
i also make a ton of fish bait to catch rare fish with lol

I have a ton of blue/black hybrids, which means I get a ton of pea**** butterfly spawns, which sell for 2500 bells each. A pocket full of those will net you 100,000, or more if Flick is around.

wait that's how they spawn??? that's why i see them often then
