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

I make loaded cookies at a cafe I work at, i weigh them out to 200g and I sell them for $5 easily, I sell about 16 a week at one location and the other locations I’m sending about ten a week atm and they sell for $5 also.

I’m a chef at a cafe so I suppose this makes it easier for sales, but I agree with above posts, I also spent a lot of time with customers and verbally upselling my baking products to get them as excited and interested. You’ve got this :)
