In my neck of the woods it used to be 50 cents for cans and $1 for bottles regardless of brand. I miss those prices.

Karen’s Kite. Mrs. Moody, the owner of the only kite store in town, offered a $25 store gift certificate to the winner of Ms. Colman’s kite flying contest. Karen said that she liked 2 kites that were $31.95 each, lol. Karen won the contest but decided to split the prize with Natalie. She joked that she could start a pet washing business and charge $20-$30 per bath to make up the rest of her kite money. (Of course that was a joke. She would probably charge 50 cents to wash a Doberman.) Then she decided that she didn’t need another kite and would use her $12.50 to buy a cheap one for Andrew.

I've gotten through the first half of The Kids in Ms. Colman's Class series.
KIMMC #3 Hank had to find a large brass key for a play prop. His mom called an antique store and got one for 50 cents. Antique keys can cost a lot. He got a steal.
KIMMC #5 The class was allotted $40 to spend on their booth for the Winter Carnival. Ms. Colman used classroom supplies for decorations, and Seth pretty much donated the booth. So, they spent $40 on the prizes. They decided to buy 10 $4 prizes.
Their booth was a snowflake fortune booth. They made paper snowflakes and wrote fortune cookie type blurbs on them. Ten random flakes had PRIZE written on them. They charged 50 cents per snowflake.
There was what sounded like a garage sale booth at the carnival. Ian and Chris both bought baseball caps for 10 cents each. What was the point of that? Just give them away.
Ian got his loose tooth knocked out at school and was given double money by the tooth fairy to make up for the unpleasant circumstances. He got $2.
KIMMC #6
Burger Town sponsored a readathon at Stoneybrook Academy. They pledged $100 for every 1000 pages that the students read in one month. The kids read 112,000 pages. Burger Town dropped a check for $11,200 for their library!! Holy eff! They were sponsoring other schools as well. Go eat at Burger Town.
