    You can freeze them and only eat them on occasion
    This is good to know cause we usually devour them

    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.



    Where I live we still get the delicious Samoas. :)

    I found some girl scout-esque off brand thin mint cookies at dollar general last night and I bought them :blushing: They don't taste as good so I don't eat so many of them at least!

    ETA: my favorite ones are the tagalogs, they had the dupes of those too, but I didn't dare buy them! I'd eat the whole box!

    As the mum of 2 girl guides my suggestion is to just give them a $10 donation. And last year we had 80 packs here to sell and I didn't have one. So many nicer things to spend my calories on.

    Ewwww, old cookies.

    Pfft, who am I kidding...I'd take some two-year old Samoas over the fresh Caramel Delites.

    ETA: And for what it's worth, my wife has been neighborhood cookie chair several years. You'd think moving 800 cases of cookies into and out of your basement would make you not want to eat them...but you'd be wrong.

    Supporting the neighborhood kids and sending the 2 boxes to my son, in the Army. Both are appreciative and I won't be tempted.

    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

    I LOVE THE COCONUT ONES! If you do too you should try the Coconut Caramel flavored Fiber Plus Antioxidant bars by Kellog!! They taste almost exactly like them!!

    What I've done in the past has seemed to work out well. I want to support the Girl Scouts so I give them the money for a box or two of cookies and then tell them I would like them to give the cookies to the next person they see that might need them (i.e. someone less fortunate that may be hungry). They usually get very excited and it also teaches them about giving. I think it's a win win :)

    Good luck! Personally I just don't buy them at all. Or, I buy a kind that my boyfriend likes/I dislike. I'm not good with rationing goodies... if it's in the house, I'll go graze on it! I prefer to just not have them in the house. I think someone else had a good suggestion of buying a box for co-workers or even to share at a party or something like that.

    The above post reminded me - my sister likes the chocolate coconut Luna bars... that also could help with a Girl Scout cookie fix, perhaps.. http://www.lunabar.com/products/luna-bar/chocolate-dipped-coconut

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

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

    On a side note... I have to say, if they still had these, I wouldn't be able to resist my urge... hahahaha

    Lemon Pastry Cremes: light pastry cookie sandwich with lemon creme filling

    The Girl Scouts have helped me lose weight by discontinuing those :P

    As a few others have said, if you like them and want to support the girls, buy 'em, put 'em in the freezer, and only eat a few once in awhile as long as it fits in your calorie target. Or go a tad over your calorie target once in awhile. It won't hurt you. Portion control, moderation, and all that.

    I'm definitely going to buy girl scout cookies if I can. I love samoas and I really want to try that new "nutritious" variety they have. I am at a point where a certain amount of junk food makes me feel sick, so I think I can deal with having one or two cookies per day.
