Bake Sale Shopping List

Whether it’s napkins for wiping sugary fingers or a tablecloth to make the display look nice, there are a few things you’ll need besides the sweet treats.

Although most of your products will be baked goods donated by volunteers, you may have to buy a few items. Before shelling out any cash, ask local businesses for donations. A restaurant or coffee shop might give you a few hundred napkins or cups; a grocery store might donate a store gift card, which you could use to purchase odds and ends. Also check whether any of these items are in the school or PTO supply closet from a previous event.
