we are selling candy bars. 3 boxes of 40 candy bars each and no one seems to be that interested in buying them! We normally go around in our neighborhood and sell bout a box, and then take a box to work...but I think other kids have gotten to the people first and no one at work seems to be wanting any!

UGH! If they were only had Reese's and Hershey's with Almonds!! LOL The last to go is always the Kit Kats.

Anyone want to buy a candy bar??

Just your first? We are on our THIRD!!!! (One is for scouts though so I guess that doesn't count.)

I was lucky and the candy bars sold really quickly. THANK GOODNESS! That is all I need! Candy bars lying around the house!

Your dh would be having fun then, Claire! haha

Why do you have so many boxes? Do you have to take one for each child?

We were lucky. I could sign out what I wanted and only one child got credit for the candy bars.

Yeah, he would have fun, wouldn't he? lol

we just got our first fundraiser for preschool, and its cookie dough, the kind that you refridgerate and then just cook as you want. its 15.00!!! per 2kg. to me that seems to be expensive, but none the less we gotta try and sell some of them. i always buy the chocolate bars lol. i love the chocolate covered almonds fundraisers.

Thank goodness our school is more creative. We have the Aluminum can drive coming up 2 times a year. One of my other kids' school just held a garage sale.

I like things like this where you don't have to sell overpriced crap!

We just got thru selling the cookie dough too. And it was 10.75 for a 3 oz . I thought that was expensive. Now I don't feel so bad. DD had to sell 10 or more. She only sold 7, so we made up the difference. I figured we'll bake them up for Christmas to give as gifts to loved ones.

I'd buy a candy bar if I lived near you.

Our school has never done a candy bar fundraiser. The only things they've sent home with my dd were the coupon books and $10 wrapping paper, neither of which we participated in selling.

We've done the candy bars lots of times too....mostly in middle school. Usually my kids were lucky if they could sell one box in the neighborhood and then my dh would take a box or two to work. He just put them in their breakroom and people would put the money in when they took the candy bar out...but you'd have to really trust the people you work with to do that I think. Actually I prefer the candy bars to some of the other things we've sold that were outrageously priced. At least people can just spend a dollar or two instead of $15 on a candle or something.

I just recieved my DDs first fundraiser info earlier this week, and I have to be honest - I threw it away!! It wasn't anything half-way fun like candy bars or cookie dough. It was a catalog full of mostly cheap-looking, CRAPPY items - Christmas wrapping paper, coffee mugs, some holiday decorations, and I don't even remember the other stuff. I thought, "Who in the world would buy this stuff?" I'd be embarrassed to even TRY selling that stuff!! I like the garage sale idea, though. Now that's something I could participate in!!
