    I had 150+ boxes in my house. I now have 5 left. I am desperately trying to sell them...so I don't eat them...because miraculously, I have not eaten one...yet.

    is the sale over yet? Pretty please.

    LOL

    I haven't bought any this year, and that's hard to do with my little cousin selling them. We just don't have the money for any this year. But when I do buy them, I put them in the freezer. It makes me eat them slower, and savor them more. I don't eat the whole box in one sitting that way.

    My daughter is a Daisy and we have to pick up our boxes Monday. I bought 2 boxes. That is it! I can not have them in the house so I did not buy enough to do a lot of damage.

    Those adorable little girl scouts and their cookies are EVIL! Pure EVIL I say! Just kidding! I love the cookies so I can't have them in my house. Period.
    If someone asks me to buy some cookies (that goes for candy too or anything else being sold) I just give them $10.00 and tell them to give the boxes of cookies or whatever to someone else. They usually look at me like I'm crazy but it's that or they get nothing from me. lol

    I no longer buy them--just hand the girls a donation instead.

    Me too! I give our neighbor who's a Girl Scout a $20 straight donation every year.

    It seems like she'd rather have me buy the cookies though. She always gives me a big "Thank You!" but I can see that she's at least a little dissappointed I'm not buying the cookies instead. I think she likes winning the prizes for cookie sales.

    I went to walmart on purpose last weekend because i knew they were there. I ate my box of samos within the weekend. I am glad they are gone and i got my fix. Lol

    I'm a troop leader. I currently have the remaining stock at my house. 212 boxes. Hopefully we get most of the remaining boxes sold at shops tomorrow. I freeze them and use in recipes for special events. That way I support the troop but don't finish off a whole box to myself in one sitting. I have broke down and had some this past week. Once I start I can't stop. I personally am better to use only in recipes.
    I'm cookie mom for our troop and currently have 395 boxes in our house. We have had 2 boxes purchased in our household. I may donate $40 for Cookie Share-our charity is Children's Hospital of Orange County this year. I figure ill and injured children will appreciate them more than I will!

    The donations count towards the prizes won, so this shouldn't be an issue. If they are doing the nationwide cookie share, the only issue is may pose is it doesn't take from troop inventory if they are doing Cookies Now(Where they already have cookies on hand and not the order form). You can earn a patch for Cookie share by getting 12 "boxes" donated, so it will count toward her total AND the patch.
