Saving money:
-------------- 
Get the Survival skill by leveling up your Herbology and Resilience in 
the first town you go to after the time portal. Go to the world map, and 
enter any forest area or just remain on the world map. Keep doing survival,
and you will get random ingredients. Also, if you level up your Survival 
skill, it becomes easier to obtain, and you will get better ingredients.
