I bought a box of thin mints today. The box is smaller , and I think the price has gone up , $4. that's 13 cents a cookie. And they don't seem as minty as they used either. Disappointment !

I saw an ad somewhere that they would be $5. I don't know what they were before, as I haven't purchased them in eons. I think the last I remember was $2. But I guess everything goes up. Smiley Sad

I think the last time I bought some they were $4 a box. The troop barely gets any money from these cookies. They should get more than .40 a box, or whatever the amount is.

We pre-ordered at $4/box more than a month ago. Now I'm seeing stands everywhere. Wish our girl would hurry up with delivery! Agree that prices are increasing while quantity is decreasing.

I love the Do-Si-Do's and they love me.

Paid $4/box...gladly.

Also happy they are much, much smaller.{#emotions_dlg.blushing}

Don't buy them anymore, we wouldn't eat them so they would be a waste.

They are $3.50 here. I ordered a couple boxes from a co-workers daughter. They haven't arrived yet.

We should just donate. As I've said before, I don't like the idea of unsupervised very young girls sitting/standing out in front of supermarkets and national pharmacies, or anywhere, for that matter. Makes me nervous to see them. They seem too nice (and very naïve) to be doing that (unsupervised). Sorry. Could just be our area. UPDATED: Others are right (I checked with family/friends/neighbors)......I meant private school (not GS) fund raising cookies. Sorry again.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

don't buy them unless the scouts have a table set up out in front of the supermarket. the quality is not the same though. i used to buy 10 boxes of the caramel coconut kind, now i just buy 2.
