What Should You Buy First?
Beginners should usually stabilize the core loop first: roll useful ants, place them well, collect Food, sell for Cash, and keep enough room for the colony to grow. Consumables can help, but they compete with upgrades that keep working after the timer ends.
Speed Jellies make the most sense when you are about to play through the full duration. Mutation Potions make more sense on ants you expect to keep using. Mutation Removal Potion is for fixing a selected ant, so double-check the target before spending.

What is the cheapest listed item?
Normal Speed Jelly is the cheapest item at $10k. It gives 1.3x movement speed for 5 minutes.

No. The listed Speed Jellies are timed movement-speed consumables, with durations from 5 to 15 minutes.

Should beginners spend on items first?
Usually not automatically. First compare the item price against your next ant, slot, or colony upgrade, because timed consumables can expire while permanent progression remains.
Tip: use cheap Speed Jelly for early route cleanup, save expensive Mutation Potions for ants you plan to keep, and double-check the selected ant before using a removal potion.
