    My favorite are the Lemonades? The round shortbread ones where the bottoms are dipped in this wonderful lemon flavored coating. They don't sell them in my area.....so thin mints and samoas here I come!

    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.
    Nah. Just depends on which bakery supplies the local troop. I got my Samoas yesterday. I think the Girl Scout freaked when I said I'll take all the purple ones you have.

    My troops ordered 3800 boxes! Apx 1000 of them will be stored in my house! I refuse to sit and eat box by box this year. I'm going to log them before I eat them. I'm hoping that will change my mind. I personally find it's easier to donate $10 to a troop as a cash donation. We earn $.50 a box so giving a troop $10 is giving them a lot of instead of me buying a couple boxes. You can also buy them and use them in receipes. Shortbreads work good for crust or smashed up on top of fruit.

    i tell em to contact me as soon as they go sugar free. But now i feel the next time they are selling them outside the grocery i will buy a box and tell them to have the next person pick out their fav kind and keep it

    My troop get $.85 per box, with an additional $1.25 going to my local council. Overall, my local are gets more than 50% of the purchase price, which is pretty decent. The money really adds up, too. Our girls are pre-paying next year's dues, buying their vests (Daisies) and throwing an end of the year pottery painting party with their proceeds.

    For the Cookie Share program, our council donates to food banks, the VA hospital, the women's/children's shelter, and homeless shelters. They are no longer shipping to troops overseas but it's still a great program.

    Hah - I ordered them at the office. Except, I bought them for the guys in the office (they like their snacks and junk - they frequent our "stockpile" throughout the day). I never eat any of the stuff at the office, so figured this was a good way for me to have them "available" without having them in my house when I'm more prone to mindless eating.

    I wasn't going to pass up buying them because I wanted to support my colleague's daughter, plus I bought some boxes to be donated to the military overseas - so I feel like it's a win-win-win.


    *** Edited to change my "troops" reference to "military overseas" --- didn't want people to get confused and think Girl scout "troop" when I meant military "troops." ***

    I have former students that I just can't say no to. I buy the ones I don't like and give them away to my friends and family.

    I just say no, but I think girl scout cookies are gross. I think I sold too many as a girl scout.

    y'all crazy. I WILL order some Girl Scout Cookies and I WILL eat them! And enjoy every bite. One thing I learned in 2012 is that I can control what goes in my mouth, and also that a serving of 'junk' food hasn't hurt my weight loss any!

    Don't fear the cookies folks, enjoy them :flowerforyou:
