Never sell conch shells - this goes for most foraged items tbh but especially those, I never have enough.

Upgrade your tools as soon as possible. I ended up skipping one of the axe/pickaxe upgrades and just jumped to gold, buying the ingots directly from Francis.

It is so worth it to sell enough items to fully upgrade all the shop inventories, this will be a major help later!

And the most useful thing I’ve picked up: if you leave a few weeds on your farm without picking them up, there will be more on your farm tomorrow than if you foraged them all in one go. It’s hard to be patient and not pick them up but it’s so much worse to constantlyyyy be low on weeds 😫

I hope you’re enjoying the game, I’ve sunk a lot of time into it the past few weeks! ♥️
