holy crap i havent had any of those in sooo long. what are the Cafe Cookies?? 1/9/2006 11:21:09 PM |

It's some new cookie they came out with this year. Supposedly it's kind of like the shortbread cookies with a more cinnimon taste. I'll get the official description from my little sister's pamphlet tomorrow.
Also, I just wanted to add that they're doing Operation Thin Mint again this year. It started last year and was a great success. How it works is people buy a box of cookies for regular price, and the Girl Scouts send the box overseas to the troops.
So, if anyone is interested in either of these things, just let me know. 1/9/2006 11:29:41 PM |

When Girlscout cookies are more expensive than softbatch which is far superior... no more eating girlscout cookies.
$2 a box is fair., $3.50 is someone smoking some good shit in the head office. 1/12/2006 12:05:03 PM |

softbatch? like
that don't offer anything like thin mints, tagalongs, or samoas? because they only offer chocolate chip cookies...?1/12/2006 12:09:16 PM |

5 years ago it was $2 a box in the brickyard.
Don't get me wrong, there's no substititue for many girlscout cookies but not for fucking $3.50 a box. 1/12/2006 12:11:56 PM |

you guys are a bunch of jews...its $3.50...its not like they're asking $texas, and its for a good cause. 1/12/2006 12:15:16 PM |
TheTabbyCat All American 4428 Posts user info edit post |
it just reduces the number of boxes I can buy...I limit myself to spending $10...used to I could get 5 boxes and they'd last me like 6 months...now I get 2 boxes... oh well, I'll still be buying some when they come in front of the grocery store. 1/12/2006 2:31:04 PM |
ncsukat All American 1896 Posts user info edit post |
Yeah. I remember the prices being lower as well. Unfortunately, that's out of my control. The Pines of Carolina raised the prices to $3.50 either this year or last. Now the GS troops in this area get $0.45 from each box of cookies they sell.
And personally... there's no substitute for a Samoa... so, I'm pretty sure they've done some economic & statistical analysis to determine that raising the price won't hurt their sales enough for them to lose money. People are too hooked on their cookies to boycott them for $1.50.
Thanks to everyone who has placed orders! 1/12/2006 4:16:58 PM |

I worked for girl scout central office for a little while, and the cookie promotion is pretty well run. They are expensive, but the money goes to a lot of places. So, its like buying a box of oreos with a little good karma thrown in. 1/13/2006 3:15:11 PM |

^that's what I'm talking about.
you don't wanna pay $3.50, someone else will without complaining
it's more expensive than it used to be....but

There are 2 companies that make girl scout cookies. Both make Thin Mints, Do-si-dos and Shortbread but they also make other kinds... that why some people know the Do-si-dos as Peanut Butter Patties and some girls are selling some kinds and across the street another girl will have other kinds.

Also, if anyone else is interested, I could probably get other cookies... so just send me a PM if you have any last minute requests. 2/7/2006 9:26:47 PM |
