    No no no silly. Different regions sell different cookies. :)

    Do you have a lemonade cookie? Where I live they are called Savannah Smiles.

    Mind. Blown.

    Now I must track these down.

    I just donate money and tell them to keep the cookies.

    You might appreciate this blog post I read today: http://jezebel.com/5976007/the-new-girl-scout-cookie-has-some-wack+*kitten*-vitamins-in-it
    The cookies are stuffed with Vitamin B1, A, C, D, E and B6 because who needs to eat cranberries, pomegranates, oranges, grapes, and strawberries, when you can eat processed chemical cookie-like product instead?

    Listen to me now and hear me later, this is the type of thing that's gonna throw your eight year old boy into menopause before his tenth birthday. I guess we should just be happy they don't have Olestra in them, that way his butt won't fall out of his butt. It's the American Industrial Food-Like-Product Complex in action, my friends!


    I won't be buying girl scout cookies to eat, as I'm trying to avoid processed junk. I'll donate to send them to the military, though; that's what I did for my son's cub scout popcorn recently (while muttering under my breath about $40 for *popcorn*)

    If I want cookies, I'll bake them fresh with ingredients I can pronounce, no HFCS or trans fats.

    Thin Mints will be arriving for my son shortly. I don't have to worry, if I dared tried to swipe one he'd beat me to death with the box! :laugh:

    We freeze them and pull them out a cookie or two at a time. They keep for months that way.

    Order boxes that are donated to the military. I know that they would greatly appreciate them. Most troops offer this option.

    Absoultely support the SCOUTS. We did this with some Boy Scout popcorn. If the troops offer that here for Girl Scouts I will too. Plus buy 2 boxes for DH and me. I ration/hide them. I can usually pace myself, but the resident cookie monster can't.

    Samoas FTW!! Keebler makes a cookie that tastes similar to those, so when the girl scout cookies aren't in season, I eat those. Not bad!

    My DD is a Girl Scout and I'm troop cookie mom. For the past few weeks, I have been selling, ordering, organizing, etc. I am so damn sick of Girl Scout cookies, you couldn't pay me to eat them. :)

    That being said, I've got Thin Mints and Samoas (Caramel deLites in my neck of the woods) headed for my freezer because in 3 months when the cookie mom trauma wears off, I will want them.

    Oh, if you want to support the GS but not eat the cookies, ask your troop about the Cookie Share program. You buy the box and it is donated to troops, the VA, food banks, etc.

    The Samoas (with their delicious dark chocolate) were so much better than the new Caramel Delites. Don't misunderstand, the Caramel Delites are still good, they're just not as good.

    ................THEY GOT RID OF SAMOAS?!

    Life is over.

    all they changed was the name. The cookies are the same as they ever were. PERFECT.

    I don't know how I'm going to resist them when they come in.
    Anyone else with this dilemma?

    I would freeze them or give them away. :smile:

    Thin mints are fabulous frozen.

    Yes they are.

    I allow myself 1 serving (5 cookies) per week or even longer. The last time I ordered (last Feb.) the three boxes I ordered lasted me until November. I was bragging about it on Facebook. LOL. Everyone was like OMFG Where'd you get GS Cookies?!!? Trust me. It is worth relishing MONTHS after everyone else has gorged on theirs.

    Never heard of that! Awesome! I usually just send them myself (husband is a vet) but this might be easier :)

    The GSs only get like $0.50 per box of cookies sold. Just buy the little brats off with a fiver and go on about your business.

    We were told that the troops were no longer accepting cookies. :( We we could pick an organization of our choice to donate to instead.
