When I was in high school something’s that seemed to work:
I sold energy drinks out of my locker first thing in the morning (vending machines never had them), Gum, and some odds and ends snacks.
I use to be big in the iPod modding scene (goodness makes me feel old), so I’d offer to install rockbox and doom, or install custom themes from a menu, or charge extra to make them one. Once iPhones came out I’d offer to repair broken iPhones and iPods as long as I could get parts. Kids break their stuff all the time, or use to. I’d also jailbreak their iPhones and iPod Touch(s) this again was back in the glory days 😂. I also went through an A+ certification class so I’d help fix computers and laptops to the best of my ability.
There were other things through the years, I was handy so I’d offer to find them parts in the salvage yard when I went picking for car parts. Sold a couple belts made out of old seat belts. Kids spend money on stupid stuff should be easy.
I remember those days, what are you doing nowadays?
