How many of you buy stuff that you don't want for the kids fundraisers?

Yeah, like $12.00 cookie dough from my niece....$12.00 for cookie dough???? C'mon!

Children have many hidden costs, do they not? This is just one of them.

I started collecting these things for "stocking stuffer" gifts.

The only thing I keep for the family are Girl Scout Cookies. (I went from Brownie to Cadette and sold more than my share--buying is a way of giving back.)

I always buy at least one item from the first child to ask. I sponsor a Beta Club and try to find fundraisers that have items that people will actually want and use and NEVER force anyone to participate.

I do sometimes depending on if I have the money. If I'm broke (like always) then I just tell the little aggrivating rugrats.

If I didn't like anything that they had I wouldn't buy anything. But there was like one or 2 things I would buy as gifts for other people.

I don't doubt that once my kids get into school I'll have a "Junk fund" set up, lol.

I do all the time,

l bought so much wrapping paper when my grandchildren were in primary school that l still have some of it and they are in high school now.

Yes, I did when my daughter was in school.
