There are 2 really good ways to get bells in Animal Crossing: City Folk. One is when the Easter bunny comes to your town. Also, there is a lot of "Cracks" in your town to dig up, and may (often) contain Candy or Bunny foil. Give the Bunny Foil to the bunny and keep the candy. Sell all the items the easter bunny gives you and with about 10 itmes you can get 100,000 bells!
What's the candy for? Tortimer's birthday? NO!
It's for Halloween! So, you can Skip the time Back/Forward to Halloween and then do this: 1. Do NOT wear any fancy shirts or hat or stuff. Use your MII face mask and then do this: 2. Have your candy in your pockets and take some items you wanna get rid of(you don't have to do this). Everyone will be dressed up as Jack. Go around and You'll see that everyone is Following you, Exept one, and that's the Real Jack. Talk to him and give him candy. If you get caught by someone else, Give them the stuff you didn't need or they'll take your candy/ruin your Face! Also, If you have All the "Ruined" Stuff on you and take let's say your town fruit and they'll "trade" the town fruit for a "Jack-in-Box" worth 1,000! Also, the stuff you get from Jack are worth around 10,000 bells. So, Good Luck, kids!!
