The Hot Dog Stand at Yard Sales

This is an idea for kids who want to make a little extra money. Make sure you ask your parents before starting this idea.

If your parents or somebody who lives in your neighborhood runs a yard sell, you can consider running the hot dog stand with drinks to sell to people. You would cook the hot dogs on a grill, then sell them to people for profit.

The cost of hot dogs depends on the area, but you would generally charge about $0.50 more than the hot dog costs. The hot dog stand would have to be clean, and you would have to provide either wrapping or paper plates. Buy cups for drinks, or else sell soda cans at the hot dog stand.

Let's say that you were to make $0.50 profit from each hot dog, and $0.25 profit from soda. If you sold 100 hot dogs and 50 soda pops, you would make $62.50 per yard sale.
