do you just buy Girl Scout cookies because a family member is in the Scouts? We enjoy one or 2 kinds. But bought extra boxes to give out to people who wanted a few extra. WOn't be doing that again. It got expensive.

I do not have any family members that are in girl scouts but I will buy them from friends who have daughters in the girl scouts. I would feel bad if I did not help my friends and their children. I do love some of the cookies though too. Love the lemon cookies and the peanut butter cookies. I agree that they are expensive and can not keep buying them.

I would love ot be able to support the Girl Scouts, I was a brownie and my sister a Girl Scout growing up and it is a great foundation for girls and I feel that it helps them alot. But these days with half my bills a month behind I am not able to afford them so this year we couldn't do it. We usually get the chocolate mint ones and the peanut butter ones and my moms gets 3 or 4 different kinds. Well,maybe things will be different next year and we can give them support again..only think that is thanking me is my hips..while my taste buds are angry with me..lol

I think they are the worst tasting cookies I have ever tasted! I swear..they are bad! The thin mints are okay, the Peanut butter are okay, but other than that..just terrible. And the same ones EVERY YEAR for years and years. Can't they introduce a new one every now and then? But more than that.. they are just plain to expensive. $4 for a box of 9-12 cookies? I don't think so. Then add... how they sell. Talk about pushy and "in your face". Just yesterday I went to the grocery and there they are setting up outside the door to sell... I had to stop and wait and then move around them to get into the store cause they were literally blocking the door area - on both doors of the market. Then when I come out.. again, I have to angle around their table to get to out and they jump in my face to ask me to buy and they show no manners at all. And there is an adult standing there not giving them any kind of instruction as to being mannerly or not to baracade a prospective customer and these are elementary age girls, age 7-10ish... sorry.. I don't have alot of respect for girl scounts at cookie time. Guess cookies just go to their heads. I do remember to when my GD was a brownie.. they really push those girls hard and incessively to sell, making them all meet goals nad if they don't, then it is mandatory that they themselves (meaning the mother) have to buy what they don't sell in their goal amount however, I did go to a function in my town about the town's heritage.. and the girl scounts were helpers for the handicrafts.. they had the kids making corn husk dolls, needlepoint.. things that they did in the 1800's. THose girls were great working with all the kids of all ages and showing them how to do these crafts.

There are a few of them that we really like. I agree they have gotten really expensive. I guess like everything else they had to have a price increase. I do not buy the popcorn from the boy scouts, I just feel that is really overpriced. I think they charge around $7.00 for a box of popcorn, that only has three packages in it.
