When and where
The cart parks in Cindersap Forest Fridays and Sundays, 6am to 8pm, with a rotating stock of 6–10 items at premium prices (rare seeds are the headline). Stock is random per visit — which is exactly why checking it every open day becomes a ritual for bundle completionists.
What it actually saves
The cart can sell out-of-season crops (strawberry in fall, red cabbage in spring) — the items that would otherwise cost you a full year of waiting for the Community Center. It also sells Animal Stardrops... rather: rare seeds, furniture, and occasional high-value fish or forage. Bundle completionists treat it as the ultimate safety net for missed items.
Budget discipline
Cart prices run 2–10× normal shop prices, so the rule is: buy only what unblocks a bundle or unlocks a money engine (rare seeds for ancient fruit), never as general shopping. A Friday ritual of checking the cart costs a few minutes and saves entire seasons of waiting.
