I just got hit up for girl scout cookies!!!

Just eat 1 or 2 a day, plan it or whatever. No need to deprive yourself. I bought 3 boxes and they're gonna last me a long time. And if they don't they fit into my macros anyway.

I want to get hit up for GS cookies. I was a girl scout until I was in college. I LOVE cookie season.

See how long you can make them last. Make a game of it.

Or allow yourself only one per day. Have some fun with it. Don't make it something dreadful. Mine lasted all the way to July (6 boxes).

I offered to buy four boxes... any flavor... IF and ONLY IF the little girl scout would donate them. I gave the family ideas such as taking them to an old folks home, mailing them to soldiers stationed overseas, and so on. They LOVED the idea. I LOVE showing my support, but I don't want it on my lips or my hips.... hahaha...

That is so sweet! I'll be sure to think of this next time a little girl comes by and offers me some. Brilliant idea, no clue why I hadn't thought of it before.

No problem. Happy to help!! :flowerforyou:

only eat the serving size. they last forever (mine lasted over ayear in a sealed container) and they're only 150 calories for the serving size. that way you can enjoy them EVERY day. instead of in one day then have a sour stomache and alot of guilt/=

I do what I do every year. I always order a ridiculous amount from my 3 nieces. I keep a box of my fave, and give the rest to coworkers. I don't freak out about gs cookies though, or any junk food. I mostly keep it healthy. if it's something I really want, and I have the calorie allowance, I'll eat it. if I don't, I pass.

I bought some from my neice and when they came in I told my neice and sister to deliver them to a soup kitchen, hospital or to someone less fortunate. I would have but if they came in the door I would have morphed into the cookie monster.

I like this idea. I know a couple other posters have mentioned it as well. donating sounds better than giving to my coworkers

My daughter is a Spark and we cookie blitz twice a year and I've noticed that there's some people who don't want to or can't eat the cookies so they just donate the money to support the girls. Maybe next time that could be a thought? Either that or bring them to a friends party or something that way you don't eat much. They can also be frozen.....I know the mint ones anyways.

I give a donation and let them have the full donation rather than buying cookies from a company that rips off the girl scouts. Plus do some research as to what is in the cookies. That will keep you from eating them.

I agree- and since the ingredients are pretty bad, I wouldn't feel any better donating them to someone else to eat.

DH (age 74) is old enough to remember when the Girl Scouts actually baked the cookies themselves instead of "outsourcing" it.

You could have donated to the cause and not bought any cookies.

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

When they come around to sell them, I tell them, "I'll give you a donation (I usually give half of the price of two boxes of cookies) but I don't want the cookies." They are usually happy to accept the donation since it relieves them of having to transport the cookies back to me. Everybody's happy. :happy:
