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.

streamline the business with marketing research
1/10/2006 6:50:06 PM
I want two boxes of samoas...
1/10/2006 6:57:41 PM
I'm not sure why they decided to stop selling the other favors... but all of the old favorites are still there. Thanks to everyone who has ordered!

Do they still contain trans-fats?
1/11/2006 2:30:03 AM
dang, it seems like they go up in price each year. Y'all are killin' me
1/11/2006 7:58:00 AM
so are they selling them out at grocery stores/walmarts yet?
1/11/2006 10:23:43 AM
DoSiDos are my favorite and they were 3.50 a box last year
1/11/2006 11:20:38 AM
They won't be selling them at grocery stores and walmarts until the orders come back... .and that will be around Mid February If anyone else wants to order... there's about a week left, so just let me know.
1/11/2006 1:44:26 PM
the girl scout lemon coolers are delicious
1/11/2006 1:53:41 PM
bttt.... one week left to order

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
when the fuck did they raise the prices?
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
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
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!

I got kicked out of the girl scouts for eating all the brownies http://www.runaked.com
1/12/2006 7:28:57 PM
bttt for the weekend.... ^lol... thanks for the site... I bet more people would look at my thread if I had added "(nudity)" to the title. Maybe you'll boost my little sister's sales.
1/13/2006 3:02:36 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 complainingit's more expensive than it used to be....butSO IS EVERYTHING ELSE
1/13/2006 3:27:36 PM
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. http://www.girlscouts.org/program/gs_cookies/faqs.asp#whobakesIts explains most of it!

Thanks to everyone who ordered... As of right now I've sold 35 boxes to Tdub. One last bttt for the night crew... I'll be back in touch with everyone that ordered when the cookies come in around Feb. 12th.
1/18/2006 6:27:04 PM
-- just a reminder that cookies are coming in this weekend, so I'll be starting to contact everyone who placed an order sometime Saturday or Sunday.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
so does this mean girl scouts will start showing up at the brickyard next week to sell extra cookies? or do i need to drop by a grocery store sometime?
2/7/2006 10:10:23 PM
I need a case of thin mints. Can you get that for me?
2/7/2006 10:15:24 PM
I got kicked out of the girl scouts for eating all the brownies.

2/8/2006 12:15:24 AM
I'd order some, but I know by the time I get them, I would have changed my mind about the kind I want...I'm indecisive, so I'll just wait till the little girl scouts sell them outside of stores.
2/8/2006 12:15:28 AM

2/12/2006 5:10:00 PM
Yes... they're here... I've started contacting people... and I'll continue to do so later today to set up times to pick up orders
