this is a penny oh and i need a manicure most people would see this on the street and walk right past it like this stupid penny when i was in high school i turned a penny into a thousand dollars by buying and selling stuff in my hometown and then i survived not a pity for three days in the city doing the same thing gum yummy yummy today i'm in a town where i literally don't know anyone i just have logan to help me film sometimes hi surviving on a penny for one week starts right now rule number one all profit must come from the penny for instance excuse me guys does anyone here want to sell

dollar here in this city what is it worth we're gonna find out today i don't really have a game plan which is terrifying okay dollar general is .9 miles away we might just go i'm walking to dollar general that's the game plan let's do it [Music] so for context it's a sunday right now and it's literally busting that's not the word i think the right word is bustling bustling bustling busting i'm saying busting the hardest part in my opinion is getting the penny to a dollar because it requires someone to just like kind of play along with this weird thing that i'm doing hello um you guys have any vacancy tonight tonight we did how much is a room typically for one bit yeah 57 57 12. okay all right i may come back later thank you so if i want to sleep there tonight i need 57 and 12 cents

need individually wrapped candies 66 dude this is so good if we sell these for 25 cents each i think it's about 15 16 and a half dollars maybe someone is like oh all i have is a dollar like i don't expect people to buy one at a time with this which is great i expect them to buy four at a time if we sell out we get 16 bucks watch this expand single dollar dollar dollar fee so it's a tax with taxes oh shoot if you don't have it thank you so much i'm sorry have a good one that's a good one why are dollar general employees so nice that's two for two he just eradicated my tax he's not the government that's crazy i better take these back downtown and start selling the heck out of these things all right it was a mile here and a mile back i'm gonna walk a marathon today i'm calling it see

worse hey y'all i'm selling peppermints for 25 cents oh no thank you okay didn't work i'm trying to figure out the most approachable way to stand is sitting more approachable is standing more approachable i'm not a confrontational person i don't like the idea of confrontation i do like the idea of selling these mints you know y'all rocking with it y'all rocking with that what if i stand up here is this confrontational yeah that's that's very confrontational okay these ladies look like they are gonna buy every single vineyard vines t shirt for their kids every last one of them okay i'm nervous i feel like they're gonna call me ugly or something hey i'm selling peppermints for 25 cents each yes all right it's all good it's all howdy cool nice day we're having i feel like i can look at some people and just tell they're gonna punch me if i ask them this question call them jake paul knock me out right in the spot first round look at that caterpillar right there let's get a close-up there he is what's this guy's name carl carl jacobs from mr beast videos is that offensive i didn't mean it selling peppermints for 25 cents for 20 and take a few thank you so much you're so sweet y'all have a great day thank you i'm gonna throw the dollar on carl hey carl carl look look who we got i think we're gonna go to dollar general and get like a bowl and some candy and like a sign we haven't gotten to salem like two hours we have six dollars and a dream i'm walking a mile to dollar [Music] he goes i just told that man have a take care the clerk at dollar general was telling me he had a podcast and so he's gonna email it to me i'm super stoked where's the nickel please tell me i got the nickel from that oh my oh no oh there it is i got the nickel regardless i think this was a good haul if it isn't it's a haul we had to make marketing baby dollar general haul so here's what we got for 5.95 you know i went in there really hoping to find everything i needed for like two dollars like a marker with paper attached for a dollar or a marker with paper attached with a basket attached for a dollar but that doesn't exist right that'd be the most niche product probably ever we had to spend over half of our money on marketing i'm not even sure if it's gonna be worth it but it's something we had to do i also didn't know if i wanted to go with the two for one rice krispie treats or the pack of 18 jolly ranchers i was sitting there in that aisle for like solid five minutes i mean i got tired i had to like sit down and i think what we're going to do is try to make this this basket you know as aesthetic as possible make it look legit because that was the issue of the peppermints let's be honest i look so strange look at that look how sketchy that looks so that's what we're going to do i'm going to make this and it's going to be great [Music] oh man this one was already open if all else fails it's the motto how do i look pretty enticing so we're down to five cents if we sell all of this candy we should have about 18 to 20 dollars actually love it love your green ones okay thank you so much yeah i appreciate it great job you just keep it up let's go selling candy yummy yummy yum yum i remind you of ryan trahan that guy's pretty cool yeah i am i am that's me i am reminding you of myself i just thought you were a nice kid that'll do i like that too thank you y'all take care have a good one sometimes you just have to look at your own reflection hey guys i'm having a hard time selling this candy for 25 cents you think four for a dollar is more intriguing or like candy for 25 cents four for because people don't have quarters okay four for a dollar all right there it is candy for a dollar much better hey guys candy for for a dollar good deal right there feeling pretty good about this four for a dollar thing okay this isn't working we need to try something else one dollar for four candies right now okay that's all right one dollar four candies anyone hey guys i'm selling four candies for a dollar sorry to be awkward i'm so awkward i'm sorry mints jolly ranchers ryan treyhon how's it going dude oh my god i can't believe i'm seeing

brings me to pretty much why i wanted to make this series in the first place basically this entire series every single video is gonna be a fundraiser and we're gonna be raising money the entire time you can see how we're doing on youtube which is really cool about two years ago around around the time i did the last penny challenge we raised 20 000 for front steps which is a local charity in austin where i live that helps people experiencing homelessness find permanent rehabilitation in their life also haley and i we've been working with central texas food bank and the stuff they're doing for our community is just so important and so basically after this whole series i'm going to be doing another charity stream on minecraft on this channel last time we raised 20 000 i hope we can do a little bit better this time but honestly every dollar is amazing and counts i just wanted you guys to know my motivation as i'm gonna continue making these videos and continue working my butt off for the next six days there isn't a clear end date to this for so many of our brothers and sisters out there that literally don't know where their next meal is coming from so i'd really appreciate if you guys could support the the fundraiser you guys are amazing your hearts are all so good and i just couldn't be more proud of the community that we have do not eat like this do not do it big old sandwich right there [Music] you
