Goodies/Refreshments for Yard Sale

[OhmyDLM]

Does anyone have any good suggestions for something cheap and EASY that I could make for a refreshment stand at a yard sale?

I have a sale planned this weekend and we are to have extremely hot weather for this area. I thought I could make up some goodies and have them in individual baggies with a thankyou note tied to the top (kind of like a party favor) saying something about my Pampered Chef business. I'd love to advertise my business at this yardsale, I'm doing it with a consultant on my downline so I don't want to do a huge thing as to be fair to her, but with the heat I thought some goodies and some water/lemonaide would work nicely. We're doing it at my home so I thought this would still be fair.

Any thoughts?

What would you make?

Lemon Lime Fizz would be a great cool down drink. Brownie Truffle Bites are quick and easy to make.

cran raspberry fizz or lemon lime fizz would be nice. Some type of cookie or bar cookie to put in the baggie

I know it, isn't this an amazing idea! I'm heading to Sam's Club right away to buy a big bag of smarties

 

[merego]

Those cookie recipes are yummy though if you are ever looking for a good recipe

Oh, I'll be trying those out as well I'm 8 months pregnant and NEVER turn down sweets LoL

If you want a little more work (and expense) you could do ice cream sandwiches with our little maker (or not). I really like the smartee idea. You have answered my question about what to toss out next year for our 4th of July parade!!

Do you say
Be a smarty, smartie or smartee???
Throw a party

I am going to do these for a breast cnacer benefit I am doing in 2 weeks.

 

[Chef Kearns]

They would be a smarty, course you could use the spelling from the candy. Check how the company spells it.

 

[merego]

I was thinking
Be a smarty, throw a party as mentioned earlier, but wanted to double check incase people used the actaul candy spelling

 

[OhmyDLM]

Ok, I need some help... I went to my local Sam's Club (small town, not too many options) and of course, NO Smarties! So I did some shopping and I found Dum Dums and Airheads. Now I nead a good rhyme to go with these so I can start packaging them all up.

I was thinking something along the lines of "Don't be a Dum Dum, call me for the Yum Yum's!"

and,

Don't be an Airhead, book a show with me instead!"

Anyone more creative than me???

 

[OhmyDLM]

Oh and I've decided to keep it simple as it's so freaking hot here and I didn't want to turn on the oven because of it...

I picked up lemonaide mix (will use the quick stir pitchers of course!), grapes, and I already had a huge box of popcorn I hadn't been using. I bought those mini sandwhich bags and I packaged up individual portions of grapes and popcorn in them. I'll serve the grapes in the large Chillzane bowl to keep them cool. On the outside I put one of my labels (like a business card). The candy I'm handing out for free as advertisement, the lemonaide, grapes, & popcorn, I'll sell for 25 cents a piece and with the labels on them, it will still be advertising!!!

What do you all think?

 

[DebbieSAChef]

Cookies
Brownies
Cupcakes
Ooooh I just remembered that tasty White Crunch bark!

These are all pretty tasty, and cheap. I love the smarties idea too! I am doing something at an apartment complex this Saturday morning to generate bookings and leads, so this will work out nicely! Thanks for the idea!

My creative brain shut off for the night I like the Dum Dum and Yum Yums , but they are both clever I am determined to find a rhyme for dum dum now though.

 

[DebbieSAChef]

I love dum-dums. How about using the first letters in Dum-Dum for a saying.

[OhmyDLM]

I think I'm going to start giving away these types of things at my show checkouts as well since I bought a 350 piece bag of Dum Dum's LoL
