Overpriced, Random Junk
From a parent’s perspective, I’m surprised to see so many positive reviews. The products listed on my child’s School Store site is about 90% magazines, & the rest is overpriced junk. A mini light up avocado fan mirror for $22, 53 issues of tv guide for $43, cardboard kids dinosaur 300 piece puzzle for $32, a dog bowl & poop bag dispenser for $34… I’m all about fundraisers & loved them as a kid, but if you want us to bombard our family & friends with emails begging them to spend money on your site, at least give them some decent items to shop for. These are some of the most random, useless, overpriced, dollar store quality products that I’ve ever seen from a school fundraiser, & we’d have to sell $300 worth just for my child to win a dollar tree “squeeze ball,” $2-$3K for the Nintendo Switch, which would be fine if you had anything worth buying. We’d have better luck selling snowcones in a blizzard.

We understand your concern regarding our prices. Since we are not a Big Box Retailer, we may be unable to match larger retail stores'pricing. We do not have the buying power or warehouse space as other large retailers. Therefore, we cannot purchase large quantities for cheaper prices. We try hard to keep all the products at a competitive price, but we do understand that you may find products at discounted prices on other larger company websites.
