Here comes those school fundraisers again...

I like them. It takes a lot of the work out of making cookies, and they usually turn out near-perfect. Once I even bought the premade cookie dough and just ate it all raw XD I did feel a little sick afterward though. Still good at the time. They are a little expensive last time, last time I saw them being sold it like ten dollars for a package...

My son has never come home with the cookie dough one. He normally gets sent home with magazine ones and candle ones. I would not want to buy the cookie dough ones. I am perfectly capable of making my own cookies.

Went through it with my 2 kids and now my grand daughter.. PRoblem is... the things they sell are SO EXPENSIVE!! I mean if you got 2 or more kids, you need another job just to support the fund raisers! Why can't they have things that are more reasonablely price so more people can afford them? More useful things. My GD brought home a catalog of stuff while back, and even if I had money, there wasn't a single thing in there that I'd consider buying... expensive, useless, nothings! That cookie dough is great, but expensive.... easier to make your own and freeze it! It was so hard for my kids to understand I couldn't afford it. Now, with my Grand daughter.. they throw the "prize" in front of the kids and taunt them with it - a ride in a Hummer Limo to Chuck E. Cheese - one way only. To me that is a stupid prize anyway, but the kids fight for it and the parents have to pay for it. I just don't think it is right. I am so not a fan of school fund raisers. I get mad that they have these massive fund raisers, then complain that they don't have enough money to go around. Very sore issue with me!

I dont know that I have gotten involved with those school fundraisers very often. I usaually buy girl scout cookies and that is about it. I like to go to Walmart and buy girl scout cookies but we dont have alot of kids around my neighborhood and that is not really a possiblity for me to be able to do that.

I never buy that stuff, I just ask them how much money they need and I just write them a check or give them cash. Fundraisers are terrible, offer a service not a product, then I'll buy.

We used to buy from our neighbor's kids whenever they would have to sell something. Now our daughter is in school and I don't even bother begging people to buy stuff from her. It's too much of a hassle. The school sends the kids home every month with some kind of form with stuff to sell. Sometimes we buy something and sometimes we don't.

I adore the premade cookie dough. I don't bake it though. I dig a spoon in and have a spoonful every night until it is gone. I prefer the sugar cookie dough for this because the chocolate chips are too hard when cold. I really only buy from a select few. My two sisters and neighbor and the boss. My nephew and the neighbor are Cub Scouts and sell really good popcorn.

i support these fund raisers. i love the prepared cookie dough. they are good. but expensicve.. i also buy from the girl scouts the cookies are good too. then there are the pepsi, krispy kreme etc..

as this is my first year with my son in school and the fundraisers coming in almost every month it seems....LOL yes, i try to purchase from most of them... even if it is just me ordering from it, depending on what it is... some of them I had more people participate, but since we had like 5 of them at the beginning of the school year i didnt want anyone to feel overly obligated, so I made sure to offer up some of them to different people....LOL it worked.
