How much would you pay for a snack for your children while at a festival?

Say you and your children are at an outdoor festival or art fair and they are selling snacks and drinks. How much would you pay for an individual Capri Sun (or something similar)? If they were selling pre-packaged chips or fruit snacks (or something individually packaged) would you purchase a pack? How much would you pay for those?

My kids are working on a project as a fundraiser and don't know how much to sell these items.

Depends on how hungry she is. If she just wants a quick snack, maybe 2-3 for the drink, same for the food. If she is screaming because she is hungry (not just a tantrum/fit) I would pay anything to feed her. (but I usually have my own food ofr her)

I usually don't buy them based on price from vendors. If I were to purchase a regular capri sun I'd spend about $1$2 for a prepacked deal.

Go check out a local vending machine and price about the same.

At most sporting events the prices range from $.10 - 4 per item with most things being a $.50 - $2

I try not to buy food while at those things bc its generally overpriced but if its a $1 and they really want or need a drink or something i will get it.

For a Capri sun - $.50 tops because I can buy 30 pouches for $6. For fruit snacks $.25 tops. There are often 8-10 fruit snacks per pouch, and any more than $.25 is just not happening. I realize we are talking about a fair/carnival thing. But still...a full drink or some sort of real snack would get a bit more money out of me - not flavored sugar water and 8 chewy pieces of flavored gelatin. :)

Plus, I throw Capri Sun and our own fruit snacks (and other snacks) in my bag any time we go anywhere anyway. :)

a buck for the drink and fifty cents for the fruit snacks. if they donate sime of the procedes to charity or are raising money for a worth while cause or purpose maybe a bit more.
