    My Daughter's 3rd grade fundraiser!

    It's that time of year again, BG! My daughter's 3rd grade fall fundraiser! You guys were awesome last year with helping her get some cool prizes, so I figured I'd post it here again this year!

    Obligatory picture of my daughter:


    It works the same way as last year. You order from the website posted below (make sure it has my daughter's name [Rayna] on the left side under student you're supporting) and the items get shipped straight to you!

    There are lots of cool items again this year. Candies, kitchen gadgets, wrapping paper, and flower bulbs! Pictures below of some of the products~

    The BIG prize this year is an Ipad 2. The tier below that is a TV!

    As always, I'm here to answer any questions or concerns you may have!

    Go here to browse and buy: http://www.shopbelieve.com/s/29407

    Come on BG, let's get my daughter AT LEAST a new TV for her room! Thanks so much! <3 <3
    LAST DAY FOR ORDERS IS OCTOBER 1ST!

    She's kind of hot.

    Too bad there's nothing interesting, except some overpriced candy.

    This, was going to buy the gummy bears until I noticed it was 10 oz for $8.50 >.> Target sells 8 oz bags for $1. Hell of a mark up

    Too rich for my blood, but good luck. I remember doing these as a kid. I actually one in my class once. Got a limo ride to chuck e cheese on a school day, shit was cash

    School fundraiser items are always pricier. lol. Portion of it goes to the school -- Portion of it goes to the company.

    Prices are the same/similar to the fundraiser I posted last year. =P

    I work at a gift shop & all these prices are on par with ours. Soy & Beeswax candles are always expensive as fuck. Funny to see Johnny Cash listed as wearable jewelry. Do you have a Pinterest you could post this at? Bitches love Pinterest, especially ones with $$$.

    So, BG, let's skip the bullshit and just buy me a TV for my room, please.

    (Sorry, I can't support this for a few reasons.)

    Whats the difference between this and people coming to your house selling chocolate?

    The money goes into my belief that the money is for the progress of the little girl. THAT'S ALL I NEED!

    Since people are jumping on me for this:

    I am a HUGE minimalist. Like, really, I fit everything I own into a Hyundai Tiburon (small sports car) and moved cross country. I sell what I don't need or the big things each time I move. (Backstory.)

    That being said: This stuff is all ridiculously priced for terrible reasons. They are making a huge profit on fucking chocolates and candles that for 1) I don't need. 2) If I wanted to donate to something I'd just go donate and skip the middlemen. and 3) I think it promotes wrong values. (And yes, some of it goes towards charities or whatever but they still make profit on the actual items.)

    That being said, "Let's help my daughter get a TV" is not exactly the kinda thing that makes me want to help out. Your daughter is like 10. She doesn't need a TV in her room. Trust me on this.


    As for Ayuriae: The kid makes no progress other than a new TV. Awesome. Shit, wish I had the internet back in my day to win shit with these damn fundraisers. /butthurt 90's kid

    Say what.

    Honestly, depending on the kid, it can go either way. But, I'm just surprised the days have come where 10 years old have smart phones, ipads, and tv's in their room. (I'm old, fuck, man.) What happened to reading, playing outside, riding bikes man! WHAT HAPPENED

    As a small edit: I AM sorry for raining on the parade you're bringing to BG. Many of BGers are kind, want, and able to help out, so I'm sure you guys will make it. And good luck. I just can't. :/

    That's nice that you think you know better than she does on what her daughter needs or wants.

    Why are you in this thread again?
