It's that time again!

An order form for Girl Scout cookies is sitting on our front counter at work.  I heard they're not supposed to start selling until Friday, but one of our secretaries always sets out her daughter's form a couple days early.

Mmmm.....Thin Mints.....drool

Re: It's that time again!

  • How much are they going for this year?  (Not that it matters...I'll buy 4-5 boxes of Tagalongs / "Peanut Butter Patties" regardless. Stick out tongue)

  • Yea, the guys here at work who's step-daughter sells them has already brought in the form, I only ordered 3 (I say only because I usually order at least 7 from her) because M said there's a couple guys at work who's daughters are selling them this year and he wants to buy some from them.

    I love me Samoas(sp?) and Tag-a-longs (though I think these have changed a bit since I was a GS, they taste different to me).

  • Around here (I don't know if it's the same everywhere) they are going for $3.50 - $4.00 / box.

    Same here.  When I sold them years ago they were only $2.50/box.

  • YA!  Same here!  I think mine were even $2 / box.

    AND, there were more cookies in the boxes!  lol

  • I have to resist!  Those Samoas will be the death of me.

  • SD is selling them.  My favs are the trefoils, thin mints, choc covered pb ones, and the newer ones-mix of trefoil and choc.  UGH!!!

    $3.50 out here...

    SD is taking them to her cousin (who goes to Lehigh) and trying to sell them there! Fab idea! College students LOVE cookies...

    Glad I'm not a fan of shredded coconut!

  • Are you serious!?  I can't WAIT to start stalking them in front of grocery stores!  Woohoo!

  • IMO, they have gone downhill fast. I don't think any of the cookies taste the same since I was little, they're all smaller and all boxes have less cookies for MORE money! It's crap. I think it all happened when they switched manufacturers. I don't buy them anymore, but my mom is an assistant GS leader & day camp director, so she usually gets me a box or 2. I like their trail mix/nuts better.
  • The Samoas are hands down my favs!!! Has any one had the dreyers ice cream that has chunks of samoas in it!?! AMAZING!

    I just can't allow myself to eat it LOL!  Any type of ice cream that has something in it (cookies, marshmallows, chocolate chips) is a big downfall for me, so I try not to have it in the house.  I keep digging to find more things in the ice cream and end up eating the whole thing in one sitting. Embarrassed  But, I'm sure it's delicious!!!

  • OMG yes!!! I wish someone at work had a duaghter that sold them. Or even that kids came around the neighborhood selling them. I have to wait till the cookies are in and they are selling the extras infront of Wal-Mart.

    Nonetheless, I will buy a ton!! I love Samoas, Thin Mints and Trefoils. DH loves Thin Mints too.

    I do agree with pp though. Their cookies have changed since I was younger. I remember going around door to door selling hundreds of boxes so I could be the top seller. The cookies were better then, more per box, and cheaper. But w/e, they're delicious and I will buy them. Although for Christmas my mom bought me a knock off samoa and it was awesome.

  • I buy them every year, but I agree with Kristy... They are no where near as good as when we were kids.
  • I lovvvve Thin Mints!! Pop them in the freezer before you eat them and it makes them even yummier! : ) I need to find a GS so I can order some! My nieces aren't doing it this year and we hardly see the girls outside of the grocery stores by us : (
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

    This!

  • Thin Mints are my absolute fave! We've ordered 4 boxes, and that will be it (two thin mints, and two caramel delights), two boxes from two different girls. One was a flower girl, and one is the daughter of one of the housekeepers at work, who's in her first year as a girl scout. They will be going straight to the freezer, provided DH doesn't eat the entire box before we get them home, lol.
