The product freshness mechanic is a crucial mechanic you will have to understand to maximize your profits in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar. This mechanic makes items lose value over time. Therefore, you should not fall into the trap of hoarding your items for a long time.

Instead, your focus should be to utilize these items while they remain fresh. However, there are certain methods you can employ that actually let you slow this decay down, or reset the freshness entirely.

Transform or Process the Item

The simplest way to ‘reset’ your freshness is to process the item. For instance, if your crops are about to go bad, then just transform or cook them into some other item. You can continue this cycle as well. If the new product made after this transformation is about to get spoiled, then you can further process it and reset its freshness.

Store Your Items

Your house storage can slow down the decay rate of any good you store. However, you must be careful. Not every storage works like this. For instance, the windmill dispensers do not slow down this decay rate.

Just Leave Crops In the Ground

You have no obligation to harvest crops as soon as they have grown. On the contrary, they only start getting spoiled once you have collected them. Therefore, you can leave them in the ground and keep their freshness intact.

This method also works with Flowers. You can place Flowers back in the soil (as long as they are placed in the correct season). This will stop their freshness from going down and also stop them from taking up inventory space.

(Note: You must not combine spoiled products with fresh products in the same slot. This will decrease the freshness of the unspoiled items as well.)

Those were all the methods you can employ to keep your products from spoiling quickly, and everything you can do to slow decay and keep these items fresh for as long as possible.
