*Don't hoard items you can buy cheaply.

::It's tempting to buy 20 Repair Powders a time, or hang on to Stand-in Powders just in case you need them, but that Prickly you're about to throw out to make space because you don't fish can buy 10 Repair Powders or 4 Stan-in Powders at a shop. Better to throw out a spare Repair Powder and save the bait to sell when you get back to civilization.

*Do hoard Premium items for later in the game.
::A Premium Water costs twice as much as a Tasty Water, but if you have only 5 drops in your thirst meter then a Tasty water has the same effect. The same idea applies with Premium Chicken vs. Cheese if you have only 80 HP. Somewhere around Queens or Muska Lacka you should forget about this because the previous rule starts to kick in for these items.
*Use up what you're going to use as you go and sell the rest.
*Use up what you're going to use as you go and sell the rest.
::For example, if you're the type who likes to fish, then alternate fishing with dungeon exploring. That way you don't clutter up you inventory with a dozen Pricklies and Carrots. If you don't plan to fish then sell any fishing bait as soon as you get it. Similarly, use up throwable items such as bombs by actually throwing them, or sell them to buy something you will use.

*Don't pick up treasure in villages unless you have plenty of space.
*Don't pick up treasure in villages unless you have plenty of space.
::Unlike treasure in dungeons, the treasure chests in villages will stay until you decide to open them. So instead of putting them in your inventory and losing precious space, leave them where they are and think of the villages as extra storage. The exception to this is the treasure you find under the sun giant in the Moon Factory since this disappears when you launch the robot. The down side of this idea is that you leave Stat improving items like Fruits of Eden and you may want them for the tougher enemies. So it doesn't pay to leave the items there for too long, but if you're short on space then it makes the problem worse to go around opening chests with stuff you might not need right away.

*Wait until your health or thirst is low before using Fruits of Eden or Gourds.
::A Fruit of Eden restores full health, so using it when your health is low saves the cost of a Cheese or a Premium Chicken. In the same way, using a Gourd when your thirst meter is low saves the cost of a Tasty Water or a Premium Water.
