    I didn't have the pleasure of turning down those deliciously delightful cookies. Ma bought two boxes of Trefoils home for me.
    I made the mistake of treating myself with five (the exact amount in a serving of them)... but now that I've tasted 'blood', I'm tempted to return for more. It's gotten so bad that I've resorted to recruiting my family as security.

    It's that time of year again...dear God! I saw them posted outside of the grocery store entrances the other day, peddling their crack cookies lol! So what's your fave girl scout cookies and are you buying any this year? Mine are Samoas, aaaannnd no, I'm not buying any this year. I'll just donate the money to them, because if those cookies make it into my house, life will be bad!

    samoas are my fave too - especially frozen. i could eat an entire box in one sitting so we aren't buying this year. :)

    Ugh, I was a Girl Scout, and I remember how frustrating it was to try to sell those cookies so we could go on trips and do stuff. My suggestion, if you're not going to buy any cookies, possibly donate money so the girls can do activities.

    I bought a box of thin mints and have one a day. It's all about indulgence tempered with the will power. Plus I share them with my husband and whoever drops by.

    My sister came home with an entire box full. =[
    My favorites are tagalongs and thin mints.
    I haven't bought any yet but I might just get one box.

    I had to find a sugar free version of the thin mints because I missed my girl scout cookies. I used to buy my own cookies when I was a kid and ate them!

    Hm, are any girl scout cookies vegan?

    Anyways, my favorite were always Trefoils, but I haven't had GS cookies in years!

    I have a girl scout in my house, so of course, there are cookies here too! My favorite are the peanut butter sandwiches and the Thanks-a-lots. I eat them, but I only eat a serving (usually!) & I do log them.

    OMG!! I resisted and resisted and then my district manager showed up at my store with an order sheet and 'don't worry I have the boxes in my trunk!' What was I supposed to do? It's a new job. She even said that she knew I ate healthy, but maybe my son would like them! So I bought 3 boxes, drove the hour home trying not to think about them in the backseat, gave them to my son and told him to hide them from me and bring them to school and share with his friends! It worked...but I really want them. I bought my favorites, the tagalongs, samoas and the peanut butter dosidos!

    I bought 4 boxes of the shortbread cookies and ate them all in a week's time. I'm not proud.

    LOL! This sounds like me. I'm buying two boxes because my best friend is selling them, then I'm giving them to my neighbors. They have like six kids. I'm sure they will enjoy them much more than me.

    So I ended up buying two boxes of Girl Scout cookies a couple of weeks ago. Really it wasn't my fault! I just got out of the gym and went to the store because I ran out of Powerbars and there they were at the entrance.

    See it was Super Bowl Sunday and they were wearing Giants jerseys (I live in NJ) so I thought it would be bad luck if I didn't buy some cookies.

    I TOOK ONE FOR THE TEAM.

    I bought 8 boxes this year, I left the thin mints out and froze the rest (2 boxes were for my hubby) I have had them for a week or more and still have a package and a half left :) My favorites are the Samoas and the peanut butter sandwich ones. I can't believe how much self control I've had as Girl Scout cookies are my weakness ( I love sweets) I've eaten the serving size or less

    Thin Mints are some evil biotches - put em in the freezer and then eat a whole sleeve in one sitting- evil biotches I say!

    I love me some Samoas!! Sadly, the Girl Scouts don't even have to be in sight to entice my craving...now they have Samoas ice cream at the grocery store
