I didnt want him to go door to door either so me and hubby bought 4 items. I was very irritated too.www.laughtoomuch.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618039774963472227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024463200549132620.post-55016863419719160462007-10-06T19:26:00.000-04:002007-10-06T19:26:00.000-04:00Dana, My son sells the same "crap" that Trish's k...Dana, My son sells the same "crap" that Trish's kids sell and this year I'm writing a check for $20...all 20 of it will go to the school. Then I will take him to the dollar store to buy 5 things (for a dollar each...) that will...yes...break on the car ride home the same way they would break on the bus ride home from school that same day.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728822870328488959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024463200549132620.post-80379533757413237152007-10-05T21:54:00.000-04:002007-10-05T21:54:00.000-04:00...post note to mammawannabeThe said gift that mos......post note to mammawannabe<BR/>The said gift that most of those kids earn is worth no more than maybe, mayyyybe .99!

Our schools have never pulled kids out of class, that would really raise the roof, however, we do have about 8 fundraisers a year!<BR/><BR/>Ugh!<BR/><BR/>I enjoy your blog!Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401395669498079057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024463200549132620.post-71744881611978996162007-10-05T14:00:00.000-04:002007-10-05T14:00:00.000-04:00Oh, I hate to even get started on this subject! I...Oh, I hate to even get started on this subject! I would rather donate $5 to the school than pay $12 for the gourmet whoppers. The school would probably make more money that way anyway.<BR/><BR/>Dangling these piece of junk prizes in front of them infuriates me. Anything that my kids have "won" from these things has lasted for all of 30 seconds in my house.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694506024825501859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024463200549132620.post-37477000978580182402007-10-05T11:42:00.000-04:002007-10-05T11:42:00.000-04:00It bothers me that it seems like the biggest benef...It bothers me that it seems like the biggest beneficiary is the company selling the overpriced crap that is being used for the fundraising. Some of it is nice, but some of it is just outrageous.<BR/><BR/>It also bothers me that Trish has never asked me to purchase any of said crap! I talk to you 300 times a day!!

I'm all for that...what I'm not all for is that it becomes my own personal fundraiser as I am the one doing all the selling so my child(ren) can win a prize worth $7.49. ARGH...now is that wrong?Sharon T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07751304491994538154noreply@blogger.com
