Food fundraisers (not bakesales)
Okay, so most people agree that bake sales don't provide much profit. And honestly, most people won't buy. My SAI chapter however has sold more creative food things and made good profits:
--Soup and sandwich sale. We had about 5 kinds of soup, and offered ham and cheese or turkey and cheese sandwiches. We sold each for $2 each. It worked GREAT because busy music students (we did it in the Fine Arts building) who rarely have a lunch break were greatful for real food they could eat on the way to their classes!
--Chili sales do REALLY well, at least here in the south. Offer chili, Fritos, crackers, and cheese. Sell chili for $2 or a Frito Pie for $3. People WILL buy!
--Milk and cookies sale. Offer 3 cookies and a small cup of milk for $1. Cheap, yummy, and goes over well.
--If someone has a sandwich maker or a George Foreman grill, sell grilled cheese sandwiches!
Any other ideas?
