It is really annoying gathering a bunch of recipies I've already used and trying to sell them or trade them off is a pain.

Can there be a quicker way to get rid of stagnate items like this? 

I also find this problem with shells, stones, and a couple other common items, there just isn't enough use of them when the buildings are done. 

I'd enjoy a way to consume or use the stones or other common items in some way.

I'd love to see an NPC store where we could trade extra items in for either silver or other items.
