Lightbulb Ways to Raise $ for Solo dress

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can raise some money for a solo dress? i'm starting to save now, even though i haven't met the qualifications yet. They are SO much money, so I wanted to start saving now! Any suggestions?

Are you alowed to babysit?
If so, That is a GREAT way to earn money!
Ask your mom if she will pay you to do things around the house.
Also, don't get tempted to buy silly stuff! Remember not to spend your money until you have that dress!

You can get money by babysitting or washing your dog.
Ask if you can get paid for doing chores.

Babysitting is great.
I did that for years....but not because I was saving for a dress.
But anyway it is a great work.

Great idea...ask your mom if she can pay you little money for housework.
You mom will be happy too....she doesn't have to do so much work.
Maybe you can deliver newspapers??

You could try washing cars, baby-sitting, selling some of your old stuff that you don't want. There's quite a few ways you can

When you reach the age when begging doesn't work any more, LOL, you can do work like cleaning up yards for those that are too old to do it themselves so they don't have to hire a service to do it. Always charge very fair rates, ppl will want to support you more when it costs them very little at a time. The problem with asking your parents for allowance is that they ultimately end up paying for the dress and my parents wouldn't go for that. However, if it will work with your parents, go for it! Offer yourself as a pet-watching service. See what your community needs and advertise for it. Use your gifts wisely, that's what they're for!
