Dilemma


How much would you pay for gourmet cookie dough for a youth group fundraiser?


This is my dilemma...

Our youth want to go to a big conference this coming summer, and we're selling cookie dough as a fundraiser. Seems apropos this time of year, right? Problem is, I just did the math. Of course, we can't compete with the grocery store's prices, but how much above that price should we go?

Granted, at the grocery store, you can buy sugar cookies, peanut butter, chocolate chip, and maybe one other flavor. We're going to have things like cardamon cherry, spiced shortbread, and pecan shortbread. Can we charge a premium for gourmet flavors?


Seriously, I'm interested in your opinions. If you can buy a 24 oz. log of prosaic cookie dough at the grocery store for $2.00 on sale, how much would you pay for an equivalent log of gourmet cookie dough if you knew it was for a fundraiser?

hmmm...I'm not a fan of cookie dough. BUT, if I was, we'd pay a pretty penny if we believed in the fundraiser. Seth just bought a 40$ popcorn tin from the boyscouts (available at wal-mart for 5$-10$). That's marked up AT LEAST 4 times.

I'd pay $8-10. :)

Are you MAKING all this or are you going through a company?
