School fundraisers are evil....

[SterlingAcres]

Thank goodness I don't know any school aged kids around here or I'd be really screwed too.

They have those tubs and tubs of chocolate and the really neat holiday wrapping paper.... Ughhhhh.

well my ds has a book they want him to peddle at $25 a pop, I won't even buy it! Siscounts for "New England" restaurants and fast food, yuk!

oooh but I like gift wrap!!!! It's like crack for me!

still..... un



I don't like how you pay $7-10 bucks for 10-15 pieces of candy.

I don't think we will do one next year. I'll say, Can't I just give you the money??

Got the cookie dough and pie one today.

I will admit I am looking at ordering a pie, since I can not make pie for the life of me. But the cookie dough? Thanks, but no thanks.
Now, I will admit that my daughter would have a reasonable time with this, but I refuse to do this to family and friends.

We used to sell the candy bars once a year and before the holidays the cheap, actual box of "gifts" was sent home with all of us. There were more than 10 of us in the same school in my neighborhood. My grandparents got stuck ordering crap from us every year.

edited to add- We also have the college students come around with their magazine subscription sales pitch.

Yeah, well I want to not worry about putting gas in my car or paying my heating bill. Get a job if ya want to go so badly "

I'd rather just give the school $20 and take a tax write-off, rather than buy cookie dough and have the school only get a measly percentage of the sale.

The cookie dough was great and it took me a couple of years to finish the Scout popcorn.

My son brought home stuff this week for 2 different fund raisers, boy scouts and FFA! Ugh!

 

[debilorrah]

The problem with the cookie dough is that it never makes it to the oven. EVER.

every single team/clu/organization at the school here sells frozen pizza? i have had 12 kids ask me to buy a pizza! i tell them, thank you, but i have already bought 4, has your sponsor thought about selling something else? i would buy if they would sell a variety of things, but jeez.
