    I like the ones with chocolate and coconut and the thin mints or whatever they are called. I can not have them in any quantity as I am unable to control myself around them. And who knows what might happen....
  • Girl Scout cookies freeze. Just sayin' :P

    LOL

    I used to be a Girl Scout and I'm a sucker for Thin Mints and the Tagalongs....<drool> But you can always portion them out 2 each into snack-bags (the little half-size ziplocs) and freeze them. Then you can indulge in a little treat (2 cookies) instead of pigging out on the whole box.

    oh curse you for reminding me of their existence :( and :) lol. YES, I am buying them, Shortbread, Shortbread, Shortbread :)
  • Just remember you can buy cookies to support our troops. None of the guilt or calories.

    That's a fantastic idea!

    I was having a really bad day last weekend and got 4 boxes!! Girl scouts profit from my time of month, hahaha! I got thin mints, samoas, peanut butter patties, and the lemonade ones. They are all so good. Mmmm cookies and milk!!

    I ordered 5 boxes for my fiance and got them @ work last night. I ate 4 of the mints. One of the chocolate covered pb ones...didn't like them and 2 of the yummy pb kind. Not sure of the names of them. But I am good... Had my feel. and felt bad after eating them!

    RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY! Girl Scout cookies are baked by the devil.

    They sure are! Its a sin to eat those things. I had to draaaaag myself away from this girl and her table at work. Cuz I wouldve bought the box and would have eaten the whole box! I looooove the dosidos...peanut butter mmmmm.

    I have eaten a whole box on the way home, hid the empty, and then had MORE at home the same day!!! Not his year though, they look like cute little girls, but they're actually demons in pigtails. Do you REALLY think it's an accident that they start selling those things to coincide with "resolution fatigue" setting in at this time of the year??

    We've gotten a few boxes. I only eat the serving size or less. Like today, I have had two thin mints. Good enough for me!

    The troop near me is giving you the option to purchase the cookies and then donate them to our military troops...I did that instead of tempting myself by bringing them home! :flowerforyou:
  • I usually put the samoas in my car (I only drive like four times a week) and I allow myself one cookie on the way to the place and one on the way back :D

    I bought six boxes...two thin mint, two samosas , and two of the lemon shortcake. I'm really trying to limit myself as they are like crack. I could easily eat a whole box in a sitting.

    I ordered 6 boxes. They are delicious - a treat that is never disappointing. The 5 remaining boxes are hidden away to be opened sometime later this year.

    Im seriously destine to NOT have girl scout cookies this year! As I mentioned with my Colorado MFPers this morning. I went to a store they were out side selling them. I said to myself if i come out and they are still there I will buy a box. I went out from grocery shopping and they didnt even acknowledge me or ask me, nothing! So i said screw you, then I wont by any girl scout cookies if you cant even ask me......Then last night I went to the grocery store and said okay, lets try this again. If theyre here by the time I get done shopping. I will buy a box of tagalongs!...I leave and they ARE GONE!!! As if they were never there!

    UGH! Guess no GSC for me!

    Im actually okay with this :)

    YES!!! I will be purchasing my usual case of Thin Mints. I freeze them. I am pretty good at not over indulging on them and sticking to the 1 serving size. I will try the lemonades this year. I bought some last year that had cranberries in them, they where good but not a favorite. They actually stayed in my freezer till July when my niece and nephew visisted from STL. They ate all that was left. They were still as fresh as the the day I bought them.

    That's impressive willpower - I eat thin mints by the sleeve.

    Funny you just posted this because I found out about an hour ago that my husband has about 8 or so boxes hidden at the very top of our pantry. Evil! My faves are Samoas and Thin Mints. I ate one Samoa and it didn't taste as good as I remember. Totally not worth the 70 calories!!

    A very good friend suggested I portion them out and put them in the freezer, so I did just that......after I sampled a couple from each box ;)

    I have to say that they don't taste as good as I remember them tasting. Like they totally went generic with them. Bummer, but kind of a good thing :)

    My mom tried to pawn off a couple of boxes on me, and I ended up giving them all to my roommate who's struggling to GAIN weight.

    My favorite were Samoas..but 170 cals for TWO?! Yikes.

    They were outside the grocery store today. I bought Trefoils & Tagalongs. I ate some already & they were delicious. Everything in moderation, people!!

    I ate one lemon cookie(the new ones). It was ok but not my favorite.
  • I bought 5 boxes about 2 weeks ago..but I've only eaten 4 cookies total. I think having them in the house and knowing I can have them within my range keeps me from binging because I could surely eat an entire box of the caramel delights in one sitting!

    They got me at Lowe's two days ago... So far, I've only had three... All the same night I bought them.

    We're on our second round of Thin Mints and Samoas. I give myself a daily allowance of one of each kind. My husband can have whatever he wants, but he doesn't get excessive. So far, so good. I recall back to my younger, skinnier days, that I would sometimes eat an entire sleeve of thin mints in a day. I've mended my ways. :smile:
