Money For Teens: Sell Candy at School
The profit margins for selling candy at school are huge, often 100%. This business can be tackled in many ways, the easiest is selling gum. Everyone loves to have gum, especially for the weekends, so Fridays are the best day to whip out the gum, especially if your school does not allow it to be chewed. The most profitable way to sell gum is each individually wrapped piece. A $1 pack of gum usually contains 12-15 pieces. If you sell each individual piece for $.25 then you make $3+ a pack or you can sell the whole pack for $2. Either way in a big high school you can make $50+ every Friday throughout the school year, thats an extra $1,500 of income. Although, the real jackpot comes Monday through Thursday; not many kids will buy the regular old candy because it frankly is neither essential nor addictive nor interesting. What kids will buy is asian candy. There is a candy called Hi-chew, in both a cheap American version, and a more expensive Japanese version, that is an absolute delight to eat and is almost addictive. Kids will go crazy for this stuff, especially if there isn’t a china town around or Super 88 where they can buy it themselves. Because people will first be skeptical, buy a fair amount, they are sold as individually wrapped chews in packs of 10 or 12 for about $1.50, and give everyone a free 2 pieces. That’s all they need and they will be hooked. I was in 5th grade and I made $80 in a week selling this stuff to a grade of 56 boys. This candy is so good people will literally be willing to pay $10 for a single pack of 12 pieces. You will easily be able to sell this for about $2.50 to $3.00 a pack and make a killing. The american version sells for about $.60 and can be sold for a bout $1.50 to $2.00 and is also very profitable, below I will link to a couple pictures of the japanese product and later a link to where you can buy it.
