If I’d only had more cash on hand…

By the way, if anyone misses out on the door-to-door sales and booth sales (troops set up outside grocery stores, etc.), you can usually get some that were unsold by troops and turned back in at your local GS Council offices.

I honestly don’t know what the two official bakeries do the other 10 months or the year, because once the cookies are gone, they’re GONE until (generally) next February.

I think they private label, Walmart was one of their customers

I admit to hitting the ATM in order to be prepared for possible future encounters with dealers.

Oh you have the right dealer! They were at Lowes today. I had to hold back my urge to buy more thin mints.

They’d bet’ not! Cookie sales are big part of troop-level programming*. The troop picks a project or a trip, researches the costs, sets a budget, figures out the net profit per box, and sets sales goals. If the bakeries get to sell them on the side, it takes money from the troops.

*or are supposed to be. Too many leaders just hand it all over to the parents. Yet another example of adults co-opting stuff that should be done by kids (Little League BB, AYSO soccer, etc.)

But, but… Thin Mints!!!

Hello. My name is Tin Man, and I’m addicted to Thin Mints.

Now I'm going on the hunt tomorrow. Local Walmart is a good place to find Girl Scout Cookie Sales.

We used it to pay for a trip at the end of the year. Sometimes it was just camping at a nicer park, because we really didn't earn much from it at the end of the day.

I… have… to shop for groceries tomorrow. Really, I do. I admit that I’ll check the GS Web site for booths along my route. I can’t help myself!!!

They probably won't be out tomorrow even though it's a holiday, but you can check here where and when the booths should be set up.

I bought from a coworkers daughter and a booth setup near our house. The girls from the booth were so energetic waving cars down that I had to stop for their hard work. I can't drive by them again! Luckily the girls at Lowes did not ask, so I moved right along!

I remember a February sale in Knoxville at the Kroger on Chapman Hwy (2 different days) where we were first standing in snowfall, and then having to put the Thin Mints and other chocolate-covered cookies in coolers to keep them from melting together. <- also sunburns that day

One week apart. Gotta love February!

- that was also the first time that one of my Juniors (7th grade) called me “girlfriend.” It took several years to recover.
