Animal Crossing New Leaf megathread: The economy of Bells, Fruit and Turnips.

I'm surprised no one has said anything about falling leaves.
If you shake trees in your town (and probably others if you want to steal theirs?) you can get one or a few furniture items. They drop down from the tree like leaves. Pretty sure this resets daily just like the money rock.
In the process, you'll probably run into a few beehives. Be sure to run straight in one direction and then make a turn when they're kinda close, get your net out, face them, and catch! ..Or you could run into a house.
100 bells also drop pretty frequently from trees if you're into change.
