Display Sunday (shopping) prices as the lowest #39

It would be nice if the staulk leaderboard tracked on Sundays the lowest price instead.

The reason is simple, this day you want to make a purchase, so the cheapest you can get the turnips, the most you can save. If might not be a game-changing feature, but it would surely help those with tight budget to be able to make most out of it.

I believe the purchase range goes from [90 to 110], so a full trip can cost from [360,000 to 440,000] bells, which translates in up to a 80K max savings ideally.

I'm a bit concerned about potential time zone messups - i'm pretty sure that in theory, there's timezones out there that have a difference of up to an entire day inbetween each other

Yes, this is just a dumb edge case, but I don't want to forget about it so how would you identify when to switch the leaderboard to "sunday-mode"? Or do you basically add a second section to the leaderboard whenever a sunday price is present?

Right, timezone can tangle up things.

Probably the best measure (as you already mentioned) is to have a different section for sales than it is for purchases, that would allow everyone to distinguish Sunday's low prices from others day (be it Saturday or Monday).

As to how to differentiate the second leaderboard, perhaps a warning for Sunday, in which you mention Daisy-Mae instead of Nook's Cranny & something regarding being cheapest is the goal.

This leaderboard should only appear as long as there is at least 1 price set for Sunday, otherwise is not necessary to be displayed.

acknowledged, I'll keep this on low priority for now but it seems reasonably doable
