i use to do that shit its a good hustle a 30 box of snickers for 12 dollars selling a dollar a piece you got a 18 dollar profit capri suns 2 10 juice box for 5 for 50 cent a piece you get a 5 dollar profit then they had like a 400 pacc of frooties candy for 5 dollars you put 20 in each bag and you sell them for a dollar a piece a 15 dollar profit i use to go to smart and final I did this all thru junior high and high school
Then when I got to high school i use to have like 3 people working for me man i was bringing in no lie no less than 75 dollars a day in profits 75 dollars a day times 5 is 375 dollars a week and 1500 dollars a month i swear the last time I asked my parents for anything like asked for something was like 7th grade xmas
like real talk niggas make bread off it and its alot safer than selling weed becuz school officials take yo shit and you get your parent to come down there and get it and get your shit bacc
I just wish i wouldve started earlier but it was easy for me becuz by time i got to the 7th grade they took all the junkfood out of the school system but bacc when he was going to school it had to be hard becuz they had junk food in schools you could buy from the school and it was cheaper
@ Will
Nobody gives a fuck!
@ Will
Seriously. No one curr.
@will bro that’s suck as fuk. I’m in high school now and need money for college so imma try out something like that.
i meant sick as fuk
Damn, Luda was really on his grind. To me he’s still is one of the best from the south. He keeps it fresh.
@ Will. I got my nephews doing that from grade 5. The school makes kids do that shit and all they get is a skipping rope or some shit like that. It’s a good way to teach kids the value of money and hardwork.
@the illest
and @ Breezy
nobody cares but all the comments after mines is talking about what i posted yall niggas is some fruits str8 up probably just pissed you wasnt smart enough to stay in highschool to think about doing it
@BTK
i m telling you bra find you a whole sale store and I use to go to a 99 cents store and they use to sell sodas 6 for a dolla and i use to charge a dolla per soda I think about all the money i wasted bacc then but if you trying to get you a car for college and like financial aid didnt cover your books that is the best way to do it becuz I got Me a lil Honda my end of my Junior Year and I paid for my whole prom and paid for all my senior shit with that money if they catch you all you gotta do is have your parents come and get your shit bacc and you dont take a loss and even if you do its like a 25 dolla loss for a day when you making like 75 on a bad day
@tdothippy
Yea man the school is hypocrits they want you to sell they candy and they give you like a fuccing pair of shades with mirrors inside of them that cost like $1.50 when you dont sold like 30 dollars worth of candy kids selling 2500 dollars worth of candy to get a 150 dollar scooter I told my lil sister if you want that scooter you should buy yo own candy and sell it it would be alot easier come 2500 dollars worth of candy for a scooter when I sold 2500 dollars worth of junk I got me a car they giving these kids scooter that shit should be illegal what they doing to them kids I go to walmart and i see them kids out there and they out there doing it for themselves and It brings me bacc So I gotta give a nigga a dollar for that to be able to hustle legally at that age its a beautiful thing Cuz but It does becuz Now I have two vending machines one in my aunt Building where her office is and one by this dollar store
@Will
Lol. I remember hustlin cd’s in high school. I was makin about $48 a day, somethin like that. I sold mines for $3 instead of $5 like otha niggaz. When I became a senior, I sold hot n ready’s $10 a box, $1 a slice. My girl was class pres, so I would take a lil bake sale money, hit up lil ceasars, and sell em 4 tha love. Lol. U know niggaz hated school lunch, so they ate those shits up! Lol!
@ Ac@pella
Yea But the things with cd’s is that i-pod shit came in niggas stop fuccing with them bitches after they found out about mp3’s and i-pods becuz that shit on there dont scratch the homie use to sell mixes for 5 then he switched up to bootlegs becuz niggas wasnt buying the cds anymore like Mp3’s had been around for a long time but niggas in the hood didnt realize what they were until like 2005-2006 LOL then niggas star putting music on they phones yea and thats a cool little flip thos becuz lil ceasars pizza is like 5 hots this one girl use to sell hot wings like 5 for 3 I swear Crenshaw High Was filled with hustlers Im talking Niggas was selling essays Tests i remember one of the homies use to have like 4 tests on his desk at one time and the teacher wouldnt notice
..ok
@ Will. Vending machines is good ass idea i’m in the process right now of trying to secure a contract for one in a train station out here in Toronto i had no idea those machines were so damn expensive lol
@Tdot
i got mines for a stacc but maintaining them cost money like you not going to see profits until like 2-3 months but when that profit does come its comes and that shit be bread Like i got two but i still have a job and you can start out small i like them little gumball machines or even the soda machines like 399 on ebay
all you gotta do is make sure you spend your money wisely like when i bought my vending machines I went weeks without haircuts and shit trying to stacc money to get that contract with the snacc company to refill my shits becuz in the beginning i was filling them shits myself and when school came around and my job i couldnt do that nigga was slumming it dollar menu all that just stay focus my nig and spend wisely you gon get where you trying to get cuz
