Girl Scout Cookies....do You Buy?

[Winchester]

It's time for cookies again! One of my co-workers has two Brownies, so he brought in the list. I ordered 3 boxes of Thin Mints, a box of Samoas, and a box of TinFoils (I think they're called). Rick will scarf down the Mints, I know he will. We like the cookies.

Do you buy them?

Do you mean Trefoils?

I see that DH's "dealer" is back in town, as a box of Thin Mints and the peanut butter ones suddenly appeared. I don't normally eat them, though.

 

[Katie M]

Yep! This year, I bought a box of Samoas and a box of Smores

I don't buy Girl Scout cookies myself but do enjoy them that others buy and share. There's someone at work who is our Girl Scout cookie "dealer" as someone called her the other day I guess her niece or other young relative is involved with Girl Scouts. At the last job there were people in upper management who relentlessly hawked Girl Scout cookies for their kids and it became a serious competition to see who could sell the most at work.

We don't have the different varieties of Girl Guides (as they're known in Canada) cookies here. But we do have the mint ones in the spring. Yum.

And in the fall they sell a box with half vanilla cream cookies, and half chocolate cream. Also yummy.

They rarely come door to door anymore, but if they have a table at the grocery store, I will usually buy a box, to support the guides. And because they're so delicious.

Just curious, how much is a box of Girl Scout cookies in the US? Here in Canada, they're $5.00 a box now!

I went several years without buying but my current hair stylist is a troop leader whose daughter sold 1,000 boxes last year. I kind of have to buy from her when I get my hair cut. Worth it to keep the person with the scissors happy.

Since I am really seriously trying to loose some weight over here, I am going to give the boxes I buy to my niece to take home to her Mom's. They can have the calories and sugar load. If they go to my house, I will eat them.

I haven't bought any in years. The price goes up every year but the amount going to the troops doesn't seem to. At least that's what I've been told. How much are they this year? Are they up to $7 a box yet?

I buy thin mints if I can.

$6 here in Montana.

I will buy them just to help them out but I really do not like them much.

When I was a girl scout (I guess I still am because we got lifetime memberships with the extra money we had at the end of my senior year), they were $2.50, and it was easy to convince people to buy 2 for $5. Then they went up to $3 and that ruined that sales strategy.

Haven't ordered in years. I will buy a box if I see them in front of a store. But trying to lose weight, not too many!

I sold them in the late 70's. I can't remember how much they cost. We used to sell them door to door in our uniforms.

I dislike Girl Scout Cookies, although my husband likes the Thin Mints.
I won't buy them because he'll eat the whole box in one sitting.

 

[AbbysMom]

The chocolate covered peanut butter ones of the best! My husband likes the thin mints. I don’t buy them though as we need to lose weight, not gain.

Around here I think the gluten-free ones are $6 and the regular are $5 or $5.50.

 

[Kat0121]

The Samoas are the best. It even says so here A Complete Ranking of the Best Girl Scout Cookie Flavors

If anyone likes them, Keebler has a dupe that's available year round.

Oh, the work of Satan!

Those Samoans, or Caramel Delites, food of the godz by any name. Thin Mints, mommy.

The US prices make our $5.00 (Canadian) seem ok. Wish we got the different flavours though.

Yeeesssss. . .I love 'em. They're so sweet they hurt my teeth but I still love 'em.

I haven't gotten the Girl Scout ones for a few years though, just the Keebler kind. I suppose I would buy GS cookies if asked personally, but it's too easy to walk by when they're outside Walmart.

I usually pick up some at a booth sale. I don't order them. I rarely carry cash and it never fails that the cookies come in when I don't have cash on me. I like the Do-si-does, the Smores and the Thin Mints. I remember selling them many many years ago for 50 cents a box. The Do-si-does were a favorite of mine then too, they were called Butternut Roundups then.

 

[catspaw66]

Yes, at least 5 boxes!

 

[Kieka]

I was wrong, I've bought seven boxes so far but none are for me oreaten by me. There is a caramel chocolate chip one that is new this year and a pregnant coworker wanted it. She couldn't find a troop with it but my hair stylis had one box. So I picked it up for her and when others heard I had to pick up cookies for them too.
