I hated bake sales. What I hated even more was...hot dog sales. Our gas grill got piled into more pickup trucks and taken to places so my husband and I could stand there and sell hot dogs.  |
you should have seen the looks I got when I told them we need to stop having these monthly fund raisers selling shitty overpriced chocolates and stationary...especially when 75% of the sales were from the parents of the kids anyways..
The reason our bakesale did so well is the prices were lower than those shitty chocolate catalogs and we didn't have to settle for 25% of the funds raised...we got nearly 100% and made more money...a lot of these parents are business woners, hwo could they not figure this out? I guess they were used to the same old, same old...
