Always on the look out!!!

The key to being a succesful fundraiser and making lots of profit is to always be on the look out for a bargain.
Always have some cash on you to buy them bargains you will see while you are out and about.

Think of what time of year and season it is.

Hot dogs will rise in price now as we come up to Halloween and Bonfire night,so buy as early as possible. They have a long date on them so can bought well in advance.

Keep a look out for bargains and cheap little items that can be used for Tombolas,or Secret Santa,

NOW is the time to send out those letters asking for items for your raffle,tombola,toys. Get in there soon before people get too busy buying organizing there own Christmas. Also people will be having a clear out now changing there summer wardrobes to winter.....get in there fast!!!

Shops will be changing stock now so you may get a bargain for your summer gala/raffle next year.
Look in  the charity shops for bargains.

Always carry a headed letter from your organisation and show it to the shop manager when asking for a discount....most stores will give you there staff discount if you have a letter.
