You can buy turnips in Animal Crossing: New Horizons from Daisy Mae every Sunday morning between 5 a.m. and 12 p.m. (noon) after Nook’s Cranny is built.

Quick Scoop: When & How Turnips Work

  • Daisy Mae appears on your island only on Sundays, from 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. local time.
  • She sells turnips in bundles of 10, with a price that usually ranges from 90 to 110 bells per turnip.
  • You can buy as many as you can afford before she leaves at noon.
  • After Sunday, you cannot buy more turnips that week; you can only sell them at Nook’s Cranny from Monday to Saturday (and Sunday afternoon prices don’t exist because she’s gone).
  • If you don’t sell your turnips before 5 a.m. the next Sunday, they spoil and become nearly worthless.

Tiny Story-Style Example

You wake up on a Sunday, log into your island around 9 a.m., and spot Daisy Mae wandering around with a bundle of turnips on her head. You talk to her, see she’s selling at 94 bells, and decide to load up because you’re hoping for a big mid‑week spike at Nook’s Cranny. All week, you check Timmy and Tommy’s prices morning and afternoon, waiting for that one glorious day where the price jumps, then dump your whole stock before they rot next Sunday.
