How many boxes of girl scout cookies did you buy this year?

Those damn cookies.

    I haven't even seen any being sold. ?Are they out in front of grocery stores yet??

  • Yes!  That's how I got suckered into the Thanks a Lots.  It was a stingy box of cookies.  Thin Mints seem like a better value, IMO.
  • I have no clue what Thanks A Lots are. ?I like Thin Mints and Samoas. ?Too bad I can't have any because I am 600 pounds overweight right now.

  • I got 3 boxes from a girl at work.  Formerly known as Samoas are for DH and Shortbread and Lemonades are for me.  I only bought DH 1 box because I know he'll eat them in one day. LOL

  • Zero. I'm not a fan, but if I was I'd still think they were pretty spendy for a box of cookies.
  • 4.  but I've only opened the trefoils, the other 3 boxes are unopened.

  • well, i understand the price - they're a fundraiser, after all, and not just a box of cookies.

    that being said, i haven't bought a single box in about five years.  i'm really not a big fan and much prefer my own cookies to any store-bought ones.

  • None.

    Not only do the cookies taste like chalk, but I also have a personal abhorrence for girl scouts.?

  • geez, WeeMo.  did you get shanked by a GS or something?

  • I would die is WM says she used to be a GS.  I can't imagine that though.
  • i doubt that, D. ?it would've taken away from her focus on school and it seems that mama monkey wouldn't have approved of that.

    am i right??

  • Every girl scout I ever knew as a child was very mean to me. They traveled in packs.
  • I plan on buying 4 or 5 boxes whenever they get around to a grocery store in my area.

    am i right??

    No, you're wrong. Recall, I've played piano since seemingly forever, and I was made to go to tae kwon do?because I was fat.

    Girl Scouts was an organization where I wouldn't have fit in. They cooked. They baked. They did crafts. They sewed.

    Moreover, it was a?predominantly Christian group.

    No good for me in any way.?

  • My mom forced me to be in Girl Scouts for a few years. ?I hated every minute of it.

  • I'm waiting on 6 to arrive and I bought it from a CW.

    Dear CW,

    I am waiting patiently on my gs cookies and I know it's only been about two weeks since I paid you, but DH & I are craving these cookies.

     Sincerely,

    stomach that resembles can of busted biscuits

    My GS troup was very "Troup Beverly Hills" - we had shopping challenges/badges, our idea of camping was a cabin (no tents), horseback riding & rock climbing were our typical physical sporting badges/activities, we never wore our uniforms or partipated in the lame-ass GS ceremonies.

  • That's lovely.

    I hope your group was nice to fat little friendless bespectacled girls because the girl scouts I met sure weren't.

  • And, yes, I am still very angry about this over 20 years later.
  • We weren't so friendly to the girl in our troop who still peed the bed at age 10. ?Especially when we had to share a bunk bed with her on camping trips.

    This.

  • i wanted to be a girl scout, but wasn't for two reasons:

    my mom didn't want to shell out the cash for the uniforms, and

    the girls who were in GS at my school were very clique-y.  i didn't like that, and their attitudes made me want to punch 'em in the face.

  • Zero boxes of cookies. Haven't seen any girl scouts around these parts this year.

    There wasn't a local GS troop in my area when I was a kid. Instead my school had a weird, watered down Catholic version of the scouts called CYO. I never joined because all the mean girls were in it. And the uniform was hids.
