Entrepenuer

I had talked with Elli about possibly selling some of our vegetables. She helped me pick and wash some of them on Thursday night. Then, that next morning, 2:30am to be exact, she woke me up to ask if she could sell watermelon and vegetables.
So, Friday morning, I set her up outside with onions, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and 2 cantaloupe. She made $12! One man walked by and we offered him some KoolAid. He asked how much it was and Elli replied, "a quarter or $0.99." He gave her a dollar, I told him he didn't need to, then he said it was a business decision he was willing to make. Another neighbor walked over to se what we had and Elli simply said,"Do you need cash back?" and offered him some money from her container. He hadn't purchased anything:)
Overall, it was a good experience for her. She ad a great time!

Nice work Elli! If she has tomatoes, zucchini or cucumbers left in stock, please tell her that Tracy Staley and Elliott will buy some from her. Elliott loves tomatoes and cucumbers, and I love all three. We are her first online order.

I love the cash back story!!! When we played last week, she was selling me stuff and when I gave her stuff to buy, that was the first thing she asked...if I needed cash back - so funny!
