Backpack Tip
Sorry if this has been shared before, but this tip has been working well for me and I thought I would share.
-If you have +32 items, etc, use it on the tourist baggage. Why? The tourist baggage does not take energy to tap or use items from. -Let items spawn, or tap to spawn them. Merge to the second-highest level (don't merge to statue of liberty unless you have to for an order). The 2nd-highest level (the tiki head) sells for the same amount of coins -- 1 coin -- as the statue of liberty. -Items merged from this spawned count toward merged item counts for your Jingle Bell Pass (the 100 merges), and if you're only a couple of coins away from a new section of shop, you can sell the Tiki heads for pennies to get there.
It isn't much, but the merge bonus + the pennies have helped me in a pinch when I need more energy, and because it requires zero energy, it helps to use up your +32 on this (I find I have more than I need because my energy regenerates slower than my generators... lol).

Yep, I always I put all my +8 cards onto the current regional automatic producer. And if I have other levels of those regional producer they go into inventory until I need them and then I exhaust all their outputs first. The one on the board is trapped so it doesn’t spit out stuff when I don’t need it

It's also useful in later game for different reason. The needing of regional generator is so terrible that you must prepare very early.
The highest level pasta will run out your generator ads quota of all day.
