This spreadsheet will tell you:
2
(1) how much you'll earn from selling the things you can't bring to Winking Isle
3
(2) how much it will cost to buy the Cryptic Clues needed to advance Seeking to 27 via Appaling Secrets. (This is calculated deliberately pessimistically, rounding up the number of attempts you will need to a whole number using instead of multiplying by the probability of success.)
4
(Note: you may not need to advance Seeking all the way to 27 by grinding; see the Appalling Secrets tab for more details.)

6
It is meant to help you decide whether you should progress via Peckish cards once a week or by spending Appalling Secrets in the Seeking Road storylet. Use File / Make a Copy to run your own calculations.

Updates:
18
June 16, 2016: demonstration that Appalling Secrets are cheapest at all levels you'd be using the Seeking Road for.
19
June 16, 2016: removed leveling to 28, since you get to 28 via St. Cerise's Candle (and then to 29 by 7 Uncanny Incunabula, if you didn't sacrifice an Ubergoat). Noted that this is a pessimistic calculation.
20
June 16, 2016: added comparison with Light a Taper option. Added row for including current # of appalling secrets (but see caution).
21
June 17, 2016: added notes about gaining Seeking via Candles.
22
June 22, 2016: added notes about optimal times to get Arthur and Beau's Candles.
23
June 29, 2016: removed note about extra consumption of Secrets on success, as bug has been confirmed fixed.
24
June 29, 2016: added optional sales for Winking Isle, as they are now confirmed to unlock third end-stage option.
25
July 11, 2016: updated optional sales for Winking Isle, now personally guaranteed to be correct
26
July 27, 2016: consolidated and clarified post-Seeking 21 options.
27
