Girl Scout Cookies

QVCkitty1 — Sat, 10 Feb 2024 22:07:28 GMT

I haven't had these in years, mostly because I never ran into scouts selling them. Last week I read about Troop 6000 in NY.C. This troop lets girls who are living in temporary shelters to participate in scouting and provides some normalcy in an unfortunate situation. I ordered cookies for myself and some friends and got them in a week. If this idea appeals to you Google Troop 6000. The only downside is I have access to Thin Mints , 😂😂😂

@QVCkitty1

I was out in a shopping area today and was surprised not to see any Girl Scouts selling cookies?

Guess I'll have to go to WalMart, they usually always set up there....or maybe I should'nt!

I bought five boxes of girl scout cookies two weeks ago. They're already gone!

@Citrine1 I knew where the Girls were selling today, so I went elsewhere to shop. I don't need much of an excuse to indulge my sweet tooth, but once I start every cookies brings its neighbors in the box right into my mouth!

@QVCkitty1 They always appear at our ShopRite, and they usually ring our doorbell at least once. We bought two boxes of the thin mints for DS, and the other times I just gave them cash as a donation. Sometimes they say they are using the donation to send cookies to the troops, but this year they didn't say where the donation was going.

@millieshops Well, at least there are only 12 - 15 cookies per box, so you can get through the neighborhood quickly!

I always bought them from my granddaughter. She is a freshman in college and not a Scout for the first time in many, many years.

I haven't seen any scouts selling them yet. I still have some in my freezer from last year. If I am asked to buy, I'll probably just make a donation and let the girls eat the cookies.

I have done that a few times when I saw the girls outside at Sam's Club in past years. I never say no. My family has always been big in the Girl Scout programs.

I'm so glad you brought this up; I've been meaning to buy a few boxes and on line is so convenient. I'd like to donate them to our troops.

We bought two boxes this week at Top Cuts. Haven't seen them anywhere else.

I got the Thin Mints and DH got the Do-si-dos.

They mostly sell them outside of Walmart and the big grocery stores near me. I haven't been out shopping in the last couple of weeks so I don't know if they are there. I won't be buying any anyway. There's no one here to eat them and I don't have a job to take them to. I do have fond memories of Thin Mints.

I was the Cookie Mom one year. Pallets of cookies in my garage. The aroma of cookies everywhere. Handling the orders and all the money was overwhelming. The troop was large, about twenty girls. I was working with four small children so it was a lot to handle. Such a relief when the season ended.

I applaud Troop 6000 for this act of kindness. To allow these young girls to participate in scouting gives them something uplifting and positive while at the shelter. I hope the troop does very well and helps the girls to have a hope for a better life. Thanks for sharing this story.

The money may go to worthy causes but they are just too expensive for a dozen mass produced cookies.
