Does it make anyone else uncomfortable to pass the girl scouts standing by the entrance to the grocery store? I try to ignore them, but they yell at me. I must look like a cookie guy.

Do you have blue fur and googly eyes?

I try to look like I'm in a rush. I also avoid eye contact.

I just got a girl scout at my door. I had to buy a box and give her props for going door to door. She was genuinely excited that I bought a box.

My daughter is in GS for the first time. Having hundreds of boxes of GS cookies in your house is BAD!!! You look at the four dollars and say...eh, I could just replace 'em.

I could plow through boxes, with an s, of samoas. Abomb can handle a sleeve of thin mints, but I can damn sure eat at LEAST two boxes of Samoas without breaking a sweat. I know because I ate a sleeve the other night before I even realized I was eating some Somoas.

GS cookies must have some relationship to the devil. MUST.

Once again, they're back.
Just got back from Fry's where the girls had set up shop in front of the store selling their cookies.


Samoas and Thin Mints, yum, yum!

Just bought three boxes.

Planned to get cash back at the register to buy them. Forgot, so I went back in and bought something small to get money back. Was walking by and no one asked me, so I kept walking ... until a cute little girl asked me as I walked past. Bought the thin mints, samoas and tagalongs. $12 is a lot!

Girl Scout cookie prices are going up again

http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/girl-scout-cookie-prices-are-going-up-again/ar-BBxTAAj

Better start saving up for your annual box (or boxes) of Samosas or Thin Mints. In some regions of the country, prices have soared as high as $5.

The price of the addictive cookies—famously peddled door-to-door each year by eager young girls wearing Scouting vests—has been on the rise for a while. In most areas of the country, prices rose from $3.50 to $4 in February 2015.

However, the exact cost of varies depending on which of the organization’s 112 councils from which you’re buying. In late 2015, councils in California and Massachusetts announced they’d hike the price of cookies up to $5. In November 2016, a council in southern Arizona also promised to raise the cost of cookies to $5, Tucson.com reported.

In Arizona, all varieties of Girl Scout Cookies—Thin Mints, Samosas, Trefoils, Savannah Smiles, Do-si-dos and Tagalongs, as well as specialty flavors like the Gluten Free Toffee Tastics—will run you $5 a box. If you want to check how much Girl Scout cookies cost in your area, search your zip code on the Girl Scouts’ website.

The manager of their warehouse called me a couple of weeks ago because the dock door was broken and they weren't able to unload cookies from the semi trailers. I sent my techs to fix it for them... And you guessed it.. I took cookies as payment! I love the lemon flavored ones,
