I have another tip for you, please stop selling your crops and tea leaves as-is lol. Cooking is so OP in this game, you should never sell unprocessed veggies/fruit/tea leaves - always cook with them, or at least turn them into pickles. I make around 1-2M$ per shift selling mostly cooked dishes, and granted I'm clearly way ahead of you but still, even early game you can make 100-400K every time with those, especially when you also have teas. Tea can be processed into tea tins in the yellow windmill, and then cooked into the actual tea (most tea recipes are unlocked at the Cafe, or at the first food stall at the bazaar). Instead of selling a spring tea leaf for 75$, you can turn it into matcha that will sell for a base of 300$ (and up to 1000$+ if you can make it 7*). Autumn teas are particularly worth it, since you can make the basic black tea into jam tea, or make fruit teas such as watermelon or melon tea, which sell for a base price of 2000+ each and can go up to 4000+ at higher star levels. Also, once you advance more in the game and unlock the purple wonderstone, you'll be able to use your low quality copper to convert medals to be used in the lotto stall - but if you have nothing to do with it for now, I'd give it to Ivy (the foraging nature sprite) instead of selling it. Upgrading your foraging level asap is totally worth it, as you'll start to make more money on accessories, get better herbs for cooking, better wildflowers to use as gifts, etc.
You most likely had unsold stock and didn't notice; whenever you run out of things to sell completely the game gives you a big "sold out" notification and automatically kicks you out of the bazaar mini game.
The travel stone uses stamina to travel. I have the teleport storage boxes that the sprites sell and I use that to get back home instead of using the travel stone, saving on some stamina.
Save the ores! you can use gold and silver to process emerald bracelets, also focus on getting your friendship with Ivy to the max so the gems are more valuable, and fertilizer gets better quality. Also DO NOT PUT THE SPRING STONE, yet, I made that mistake already. Also if you have a lot of big livestock focus on training dogs so they can help you with them.
I have one to add that's so important because it's for late game and it's TOTALLY IRREVERSIBLE. (spoilers ahead)
do not put your spring stone into your Cellar when you get it. They give it to you for free, but do not do it. (yet)
Because seasonal stones cannot be removed once inserted.
Because autumn tea leaves are one of the best money makers in this game, you want to make the autumn tea, but if you have spring and summer stones in your Cellar, itll be a mix. Not having both those stones makes it guaranteed to have autumn tea leaves.
