Why bargin?

You are a sister after my heart ;)!!!

i love girl scout cookies and it seems like every year i miss the cookie sale. most of the girl scouts in brooklyn focus on door to door, friend & family sales. maybe i'll get lucky and they will have a table sometime after they are suppose to be delivered.

they should really just sell them online - they would make sooo much money!

That idea is pure genius!

When my mother was the Girl Scout mother, she wouldn't let us sell cookies due to safety issues about selling door to door in NYC as cash78mere wrote.

Since my parents were cautious parents of a diabetic child, I got used to Shortbread cookies. Back then, they had candied sugar on them. Now they don't.

I remember Golden Yangles. I think I sold maybe 2 boxes of them TOTAL when I was a girl scout. (And that was 3-4 years.) And my parents tried to make me eat them. I didn't get it. They were like Cheese-Its... but twice as expensive.

In these times, Tagalongs are my favorite. And then Frozen Thin Mints. Those are good. There was a box of lemon sandwich cookies that were really good too.

BF gave up sweets and such for Lent. Turns out his roomie bought a box of Thin Mints and HE ate the whole box. As much as I care about him, boy has no self control. (Someone above mentioned crack? Yeah, that's it.)

Actually GSUSA has some pretty strict guidelines about selling cookies online.

Each council can sell online but only with in the guidelines. Individual troops generally are not permitted online sales.

Each council contracts with the cookie bakers themselves and negotiates the price. I can remember selling cookies for 50cents a box...and now they are what $3-$3.50...egads! Two commercial bakers are licensed by the national Girl Scout organization, Girl Scouts of the USA, to produce Girl Scout Cookies: ABC/Interbake Foods and Little Brownie Bakers.


The money breakdown for the box of cookies is pretty similar between the individual councils.

I gave up the buying cookies. I head straight for the ice cream. One container of somoas and one of thin mint and things are good.

the somoa cookie ice cream is awesome!! but they only have it during certain times :( i bought a box of somoas, i swear i nearly had an orgasm, they tasted sooooo good! but i can only have 2 every so often cause of my diet. 150 calories for 2 cookies!!! i swear i want to buy like 15 boxes of those things to save throughout theyear. lol

I stuck my box of Thin Mints and Samoas in the freezer and then waited a few days.............YUMMY!!!
