How much does it cost to make a gift in a jar?

Question

In general, how much would it cost to make the cookie mixes, soup mixes, etc. in a jar? And how much is a reasonable selling price for a fundraiser?

Answer 1

the more of them you make, the more you can buy in bulk so the price per jar would go down. We made some cookies one year, only about 10 of them and I think we spent about $3 per jar for just the ingredients. Don't forget the cost of the jars and some decorative touches.

Answer 2

Depends upon what you put in it, obviously. If it's a cornbread mix, that'll be much cheaper than a chocolate chip pecan cookie mix.

But overall, I'd say cost is about $2.50, including jar/lid. You could probably sell for $6-7.
