    Only the ones that are made with real Girl Scouts.

    Evil, wicked, mean and nasty if you ask me. My daughters, nieces, friends and co-workers have bilked me out of hundreds of dollars over the years. I'm having a problem with how expensive they've gotten the last few years. I know, I know... a worthy cause, it's for the kids, etc. and etc. I sure do miss the shortbread ones though. :-)

    They're so evil that I would eat them in a box and I would eat them with a fox. I would eat them in a house...I would eat them with a mouse. I would eat them here or there...I would eat them anywhere. Especially the caramel and chocolate, coconut cookies. :devil:

    My daughter is a girl scout. Instead of buying them for the house we donate to troops and the local homeless shelters. It saves us the calories and feels good to do something nice and help my DDs troop.

    This is definitely the way to go. My daughter is selling them as well. To support her, we bought several boxes and donated them. Those and other donated boxes are going to the Oregon Air National Guard troops overseas. It's a great way to support both kinds of troops, and you don't have to have boxes at home tempting you!

    I'm lucky in that Do-Si-Dos are the favorite of both my dad & myself so I had one serving (with ice cold milk of course!) and gave the rest of the box to him.

    I feel good because I got a taste that fit into my day and showed a great willpower win by then giving the rest away! Call it a NSV if you will, lol!

    I was a Daisy/Brownie/Junior Girl Scout as a kid (I still have my Brownie sash full of badges) so I'm happy to support them. My dad still tells stories of the boxes and boxes of cookies that filled his office for months when my mom volunteered to be Cookie Mother one year, lol!

    Somehow I"ve managed to actually stick with the "serving size" of Thin Mints, four at a time. I'm actually finding it enough.

    It's weird. Maybe I'm sick. Or dying. :drinker:

    Yesterday when I walked out of Wal-Mart (the Girl Scouts camp out in front of Sam's Club and Wal-Mart every weekend in January and February), the little Brownie said, "It's the last weekend to buy cookies". I got out to my car and said to hubby, "Yes! Thank God! It's the last week for Girl Scout Cookies!!"

    DO NOT BUY THEM. I havent bought them in years. just dont do it. if they were in my house i would eat them all.

    My wife is the "cookie mom" for my daughter's troop this year - I have 2 pallets of them in my garage that I have to sneak past to get to my bench and treadmill. :)
    oh wow, thats dangerous! my "wife" would come home one day to me passed out in the garage with 50 empty boxes of cookies surrounding me! You are a better person than I!!!!!!!

    btw, after seeing this post I decided to find paleo versions of the girl scott cookie recipes. I pined them and cannot wait to try them when I am done with whole 30 (20 more days!) ;D

    I bought myself one box and I have been great so far, limiting myself to one or two cookies on days they fit in my calories. I used to eat half a box in one sitting!

    I always buy them...one box of Samoans, and eat the whole box in less than 24 hours. I know it going in, and it's over.


    On another note. one of the Moms at the Safeway Girl Scout cookie stand had a little credit card swipey thingy attached to her smart phone so they could take credit cards at the cookie stand via some type of app.









    What could possibly go wrong? :noway:

    The best way to avoid them is to hold up a crucifix and hiss at the girl scouts on your way in and out of the grocery store.

    I giggled out loud reading that. xD

    My kid is a GS and she sold a TON of cookies this year. Needless to say, we got stuck with a few boxes because we can't find the people that ordered them (and sadly, I think one person who ordered is losing their house). Plus my husband bought from others at work -- it's ok, they bought from us. lol We have LOTS of boxes around the house.

    So far, I have been good with the cookies in the house. If I have had 10 cookies in the last 14 days, that would have been a lot. However, I did manage to eat a whole brownie thingie tonight at dinner. It's my anniversary, so it's ok. What's not ok is that I ate a whole bag of goldfish crackers when i got home. I figure if i'm going go over in calories, I might as well do it right!

    maybe next time I should stick with just a few cookies...
