🍪 2020 Girl Scout Cookies 🍪

Mz iMac — Tue, 04 Feb 2020 20:22:19 GMT

2 weeks ago, I purchased a case of Thin Mints from a PA girl scout. In Pa, the price is $4/box.

Today, on my way out the manager of my building asked me to purchase some cookies from her step daughter who is 4 yrs old. I told her no. She's no girl scout. Manager told me no but she is a Daisy Scout. Said it was 1 step below a Brownie Scout. Joisey is asking $5/box. I ordered 2 boxes of Lemonade cookies. Manager got her panties up in a bunch cause she knew I purchased a case from another neighbor. Had the nerve to ask me why I was not going to purchase a case? Advised her if "Daisy" is still a Daisy next year, will purchase 1/2 case from her & 1/2 case from my neighbor.

I'm giving the 2 Lemonaide cookies to my non-English speaking neighbor as I only eat Thin Mints. She goes to language classes every night & practices on me.

The lowest level back when I started was a Brownie. You had actual cookies in a cardboard box carried from door to door for a cost of .50 cents. I wish I could remember how many cookies were in a box back in 1968 my first year. I love girl scout cookies but so expensive.

I love to support the GS sales, but this is crazy. What next, Toddler Scouts? And, for cryin' out loud, what's with the attitudes? If you bought ONE box, they should be as grateful, as if you bought a case.

@beckyb1012 My daughter was a Brownie. You're right, that was the lowest. Ugly brown uniform. Rock bottom "back in da day." Wait till I tell her about "Daisy."

I can't remember the name of the lemon cookies that Michigan girl scouts sold a few years ago but they were lousy. I used to work with a guy who had connections to a girl scout in Ohio and everyone I worked with placed orders for the Lemonades (sold in Ohio, not Michigan).

I'm not kidding - I was always down for 5 boxes. Another guy I worked with ordered 2 cases

Once I retired, I didn't have access to my supplier and had to find some kind of lemon cookie substitute because Michigan scouts are still selling lousy lemon cookies.

Oreos lemon cookie and lemon thins come pretty close in taste to my favorite GS cookie.

Here is the one from years. Meetings were always on Monday since my Great-Grandmother was our leader and she closed her Beauty Salon on Mondays. I had the gloves too. Mama Jack was very into all the girlie things.

Think I'd rather say that I don't want the cookies and just give

them $2.00 or $3.00 donation.

Buying a few boxes costs a small fortune since they are getting

so expensive.

@Mz iMac @beckyb1012 I was a Brownie, too. I was so excited to get my Brownie ring, I couildn't wait to show it to my brother, who was 7 years older than me.

I knocked on his bedroom door and he refused to open it. He said" "Just shove it under the door." Stupidly, I did. Then I heard this loud stomping. He shoved it back flat as crepe.

It goes without saying, Brownie's had NO respect ... LOL It took us a decade to reconcile that event. Actually, I still resent him for it.

@Mz iMac, Sometimes you just can't win ! I hate it when people put you on the spot like that. I think it was very nice of you to buy more of them from her and double nice to plan on giving them to your neighbor, LOL wish I were your neighbor I love the Lemon one's !

OMG. When you see him next you need to tell him my second year of Brownies my younger brother of one year was now school age so he was with my Great-Grandmother and I after school each day. We all in my troop called him our Mascot. He did all the crafts with us and went on all the field trips. He had a ball. Now as a middle age man he prefers to have no memory of that time, but I still have black and white photos!!

Daisy scouts are fairly new, they wear a blue tabbard and earn petals of the daisy,

Daisies. Daisy is the initial level of Girl Scouting. Named for Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low, they are in kindergarten and first grade (around ages 5–7). They meet in minimally groups of five girls with two adult leaders who help the girls plan activities to introduce them to Girl Scouts.

The town I use to live in, had GS & BS parades every year. Brownies were always in the back. My father's comment: "Here comes the runts of the parade."

Back in the day when I was a scout Brownie was the lowest. But times have changed & now there are Daisy's.

They've gotten too expensive, have been for a while now.

You can purchase national brand flavors, close to the GS brand, year round for less.

@beckyb1012 That's so sweet. Your younger brother was a doll. Probably, though because he was younger, since he wanted to deny it as he got older.

My brother had 7 years on me and didn't want a sister in the first place. He longed for a brother. It's only now that we're both seniors, that we've become closer. But, sadly, you never forget those little, childish things.

Give your brother a hug from me, for being a good little brother. It's left a fond memory for you. It matters. .
