In this article we have prepared a list of 15 best things to sell at school. The things we collect are those that students in school buy most often and which they most often need.

BEST THINGS TO SELL IN SCHOOL

1. JELLIES

Most students of all ages love jelly beans. Especially sour jelly beans are very popular. You can buy small packages, sold in promotions, which will be easier for you to sell.

2. CHOCOLATE BARS

Chocolate bars are one of the most profitable and best things you can sell at any school. They are small, so you can easily buy several dozen or more of them, and then sell them by pieces, gaining even $ 1 or more on each piece sold.

3. CHIPS

All children love chips. During school breaks, many love to buy a bag of chips. It is most profitable to sell small chips bags because children usually don’t have much money and it’s easier for them to buy a smaller package. It is also easier for salespeople to transport more small packages to school than large packages.

4. SODA CANS

School students drink various soda drinks almost every day. Find out what type of soda is most liked by students at the school where you want to sell and offer this type of drink.

5. HANDMADE SNACKS  

There are so many types of cakes, pastries and snacks that you can make yourself at home, in your own oven, or using other appliances and then sell in the kitchen. Foods such as mini pizzas, cookies, cupcakes, sliced cakes, and even mini tacos, toasts and much more are great for school sales. A microwave at school will be an advantage, but many of these snacks can be eaten even cold.

6. SCHOOL SUPPLIES, STATIONERY & THINGS KIDS FORGET, BUT NEED

From time to time, most children in every school need a pen, paper, pencil, and many other items to study for cheap items. The most needed items are pencils,  pens, paper, notebooks, highlighters, staplers, folders, erasers, etc. The best time to sell them is especially the time just before the exams and tests.

7. CUP NOODLES

If you have the opportunity to arrange boiling water for pouring cup noodles, they can be a real hit at any school. Cup noodles are very tasty and students from all schools are very hungry. If one student notices another eating hot delicious and deliciously scented cup noodles, then certainly a whole bunch of students will appear immediately, who will also want to buy them.

8. SCHOOL SPIRIT CLOTHES AND ITEMS

Students in most schools like to have subjects with their school logos, or with the name of their school or class. This is especially popular among high shool students. The most popular items of this type for sale at school are hats, T-shirts, bumper stickers, bags, licence plate holders, portable cups, etc. You can order a printout of such clothes with your school’s logo and name, for example on this page undergroundshirts.com.

9. SMALL TOYS AND GADGETS

All kids love small gadgets, popular items, cool toys and various other cool little things. Examples of such items are cables for charging phones, fidget spinners and various other gadgets, which are especially popular nowadays on the Internet and in social media.

10. DONUTS & COOKIES

Kids and even adults love sweet cakes and donuts. You can buy them every morning at your local donut shop and then sell them during breaks.

11. COFFEE, ENERGY DRINKS AND GINGER BEER

Drinks are generally one of the simplest things to sell at school. If you don’t sell them one day, you can continue selling in the next days and weeks because energy drinks, ginger beer and coffee have a long shelf life.

12. CANDIES

All kids like candies. Sell several types of the most popular sweets, preferably in the smallest possible packaging. It is profitable to buy them in bulk just like that package of candy on Amazon.
