First Bake Sale Q

I am organizing my first Bake Sale tomorrow to raise money for our team in the MS Walk.

We have cookies, cupcakes, and brownies.

Should they be packaged or can I just leave them in a tray? Also, how much for the items?

I was thinking:
50 cents for 1 cookie
50 cents for 1 brownie
$1.00 per cupcake

Is this fair?? Thank you!!

Re: First Bake Sale Q

they should all be pre-packaged or wrapped in cellophane.

I think the prices are good! Add incentives for buying more 3 cookies/$1

Actually, I was just thinking.....can I leave the prices open to a DONATION??

I don't think I am prepared to have money on me to give change.

Can I just leave out plates and napkins, have people take what they want and leave a donation??

I wouldn’t do the donation thing. I know most people will have a good heart about it, but I think there could be someone who abuses the donation things with how many baked items they take. I think your prices you are fine. I am helping a friend with a bake sale next week and we have all the items prepackaged.
