what would you pay?

[flutterby]

Having a bake sale.....

What would you say is a fair price for the following??

dozen choc. chip cookies

homemade apple pie
homemade pumpkin pie

flavored brownies (cheesecake, pumpkin, etc.)

also, my children make these worms in dirt treats (brownie covered with frosting , green coconut with gummi worms) what would you pay for those?

I want it to be FAIR to both parties. I don't want to hear the comments "that is too much" or "$?? for a pie?"

Children will be around and their feelings get hurt easily so I don't want them to feel bad by hearing rude comments








any and all comments welcome

Re: what would you pay?

The bakery I go to charges approx the following so I'd add a dollar because it is homemade. Or list them for $7.50 and lower the price if nobodies is "biting".

dozen choc. chip cookies - $2

homemade apple pie - $4 (actually their pies are $3.50 but they make a sugar-free apple pie for me for $4)
homemade pumpkin pie - $4

flavored brownies (cheesecake, pumpkin, etc.) $0.50/slice (I'd keep the price the same)

worms in dirt treats - depends on the size - $1/piece?

Just guessing on these.

I've seen pies in stores for a heck of a lot more but the place I go to is a small, unknown bakery that also sells to the public. Also, restaurants sell pie slices for a buck a pop

I think $6 for a pie...any pie. I'd probably pay more, but I think most people would pay $6 knowing it's for a good cause...is this for a school bake sale??? I don't know about the dozen cookies. But maybe a dollar a piece for a brownie, depending on how big they are...so maybe a little less if they're on the smaller side. JMO

I think the cookies should be at least $3.00 and pies 6.00.

Re: what would you pay?

individual dirt treats .50 cents

plus, have you considered doing some smaller bags of cookies maybe 3 for .50 cents

you will have a lot of kiddos buying too and they usually only have change.

Re: what would you pay?

i think 6 for pie too, and 2 bucks per dozen cookies, especially if they are decent size

Re: what would you pay?

I would def sell pieces of pie for $1., the cookies, depending on size, maybe 3 @ 50 cents. Something that I think sells good is rice krispie treats.

I would imagine it would be more difficult to sell pieces of pie. Then you also have to provide plate, fork and napkin as well. Whole pies are much easier.

Re: what would you pay?

You can make more on the pies by selling by the slice. At a bake sale, many people appreciate smaller packages...especially when they are trying to diet. They may buy a slice or 2, before they would buy a whole pie. And some people want their treat when they get to the car.

also, with todays economy, people may be more apt to want to pay a little less for something...just to help the kids out. They may not want to pay for a whole pie.
You can always sell both slices and whole pies.

True AllieK. Plus some (like myself) live alone and a whole pie might be too much.

I guess dollar stores could provide cheap and cheerful plates/napkins, etc.

Re: what would you pay?

Just ask someone to donate the little plates and forks, maybe some Saran wrap or baggies maybe someone that can't or won't bake.

If it were me, I would sell the cookies 3 for a dollar. That way you would get more for them per dozen. I would spend a dollar for 3 cookies!! It sounds like a bargain.

Re: what would you pay?

I would pay $2-$3 for a decent slice of pie. Most moms know how expensice pie ingredients are and how much trouble they are to bake..expecially the fruit pies.

Hey, another good thing for garage sales is the various types of trash (chex, kind with m&m's, etc.). It's easy and the kids can help with it.
