    Heck I'm a girl scout leader and the cookie mom.. I will have about 100 cases in my living come mid feb. So Girl Scout cookies will be in my house until the end of March. Must have will power to just say I can have 1 cookie, not the box which will lead into another box and so on.

    If it's me and my husband as a unit who are approached we just make a straight cash donation to the troop - they get it all. If it's just my husband by himself they smell blood in the water. The girls must circle him in anticipation of the kill, 'cause he comes home with a buttload of Taglongs and Thin Mints. :grumble:

    I just had to deal with 4 little brownies out shivering in the cold so of course I bought a few boxes, none of the flavors i like though :) , my teenagers already saw them and on their way to go play ball grabbed a box and away they went...

    Dollar General has some like the coconut caramel ones...they taste exactly the same, but these are for a good cause. I'll leave them on the counter, and with two teenagers, a 9 year old and a husband, they evaporate pretty quickly.

    If I knew what I know now when I was a girl scout, I'd be hitting up them college dorms. Lots of people and no competition!

    Cookie time cookie time girl scout cookie time ;). Former girl scout, current leader and mother of a girl scout. And I always handled the troop cookies lol. Tagalongs are my weakness love them, my hubby likes thin mints which is funny because he is the Reese's peanut butter cup lover and I love Andes candies but when it comes to cookies we switch lol

    Why resist? Will you never eat cookies again? I have a box of Samoa's in my freezer as we speak!

    Was at a friend's today and she gave me two Samoas. Ate one....yummmmm!!! Took the other home for hubby. Don't fear the cookies (or anything else). Moderation. Enjoy and move on.

    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.

    Totally agree! Those were/are my faves!

    Hell yeah I am going to eat them. I will not give up bad food, I will just eat less of it.

    All the girl scouts I ran across offered the option of buying & donating to soldiers overseas. So far I've bought 6 boxes, none for me!

    Tell the girls you'd appreciate it if they gave your boxes to someone else who could use them--a soup kitchen? a homeless shelter? What I do is give the scouts a few dollars rather than buying the cookies. They get all the money instead of just a part of it and I avoid a lot of calories. good deal on both sides.

    Thin mints are fabulous frozen.

    Just one of the many reasons I :heart: you so hard.

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

    Your timing couldn't be any more perfect!

    This was my first post tonight on my status:

    "Don't eat the girl scout cookies. Forget they're in the kitchen. "Don't eat the girl scout cookies. Forget they're in the kitchen. "Don't eat the girl scout cookies. Forget they're in the kitchen. "Don't eat the girl scout cookies. Forget they're in the kitchen." H.E.L.P.!!!

    This was my second:

    Burn off the girl scout cookies. Go for a walk. Burn off the girl scout cookies. Go for a walk. Burn off the girl scout cookies. Go for a walk. Burn off the girl scout cookies. Go for a walk. Darn it! Why do I do that to myself? I'm good all day long, come home, and cave!

    Buy them and have the Girl Scouts send them to the troops overseas...they will do that for no added charge. Win Win

    Last year I asked two girls who came to my house what where there favorite cookies and I order two boxes of each. When they delivered them I said oh I bought them for you, I'll never forget the look on their face. Priceless =)

    I still buy from my co-workers kids so I still get mine. haha

    What a terrific idea!
