I absolutely love Costco. I have been shopping there for years. By buying in bulk I shaved at least $65 off my monthly shopping bill.
And I only buy items like shampoo, conditioner, etc when they offer the coupon savings a few times a year. I also have the Business Membership so I get a rebate on all my shopping throughout the year. It usually pays for the annual membership and then some. I have friends that don't want to pay the annual membership so they will either go with me or give me their shopping list. It just adds to my rebate. ... View related article.
You shouldn't lower the price just because you have competition. It can give your potential customer the idea that the coupon books are not worth what you are selling them for and they won't buy.
May I offer a candle fundriaser with Mia Bella Gourmet Candles. Candle season starts with the beginning of school and many people love candles.
If you had just 300 student sell 5 candles each at a profit of $5/per jar, you would raise $7500. Just think of the possiblities if you have more student that sell even more candles.
If you would like more information, please feel free to send me an email: patty.wahm@gmail.com
