It's simple math. Let's say that Hay Day will award you expansion tools for harvesting crops at a proportion of 60% deeds, 30% mallets, and 10% stakes. After playing for a while and collecting these tools, you'll have a lot of deeds, a medium amount of mallets, and a tiny amount of stakes. You will continue to find that you're awarded more deeds (which you now don't need) and few stales (which you're very much need). These same tools will rarely be for sale in the Daily Dirt, and when you do find them, everyone else is also in dire need of them and beating you to the purchase.

The best way to combat this is by joining an active neighborhood that trades tools. You can find someone in that neighborhood who is working on a barn upgrade, or Grocery upgrade, for example, and trade them the tools they're lacking for the stakes or other tools that you may need to complete your land or fishing project. Work one project at a time, trade for those tools, and repeat is the best way to work your way through the game.
