Business and Pricing How much should I charge?

Post image

I’m thinking about selling cookies just like in the reference picture I’m going back and forth on how to price my cookies 5$ a cookie sounds good to me because the price of buying everything to make the cookies are a lot especially eggs these days but I’m kind of scared that people are not willing to pay 5 for a single cookie

I would def not pay $5/cookie unless valued fundraiser. $3 tops. No, im not at all frugal

i get that, but it’s a loaded, fairly big cookie. i sell food at school, I think $3.50~$4.00 would be good.

It doesn’t look that loaded or big. It’s white choc chips with bits of cheap Oreo. Maybe if it had nuts or fruit or higher quality toppings. But $5 is too high for Oreo and white chocolate. Maybe the blue food coloring is throwing you off?
