GS cookies already? I thought it was in March to coincide with Juliet Lowe's birthday. Thin mints here I come.

Girl Scouts are out in full force! But I think you're right...it used to be March

I want some thin mints please. Why are they not ringing my bell? They will make a big sale with me.

I sold GS cookies for 50 cents a box. I had a wagon and went door to door in my neighborhood with cookies. My mom was cookie chairman (we didn't have pc names in those days) and so we had boxes and boxes in our garage. My most fond memory.

YUM. I think they were a little more that 50 cents when I was selling them but not much.

@ Autumn...I remember when they were $1.00 per box.
@ maryjane...your comment reminds me of the hit song from the 70's..."You can ring my bell"

A service to your community.

Funny thing about why I remember the cost. This old man (probably was 30) argued with me that they were too much money. He said he could go to the store and buy a whole bag of Mother's cookies for 39 cents. Here I was, a little girl, I was even a Brownie, not a full fledged GS, and this old man was arguing with me. So, not really a funny thing, but why it stuck in my memory. I'm going to let that memory go now! Bye, bye bad memory. I really love this site!

I hope the GS are at the store when I go....I'm leaving now.

I have sold and eaten many a box of these cookies...I'm looking for a chapter in my area so I can gain a pound or so. Thin Mints, peanut butter...yummm

Keep the memory Autumn22, those types of things remind us not to become cantankerous old bitties quarreling with kids at the door.

designed to make us fat and broke, the American weigh (way)

Dragonflower says,

ba_ miracle, you are so right. I have strived to not become one of those old bitties.

Autumn22. I picture a sweet, ,hopeful little girl looking up at the insensitive senior citizen. How unpleasant. There has to be a memoir in such a powerful experience. Not everyone is kind to Brownies/GirlScouts.

Dragonflower says,

Thanks DD..C!! It's the very reason I continue to buy GS cookies and act excited about them! Although the excited part is easy when I see a box of Thin Mints. You know what else I like? Samoas. Those coconut chocolate ones. Hope they didn't discontinue them! Coconut isn't everyone's cup of tea.

jl333 says,

No, Autumn22, they didn't discontinue them...I just bought a box myself. It's your lucky day!

Dragonflower says,

Yahooey! I am on the lookout for GS's. Probably will see some next weekend. Hope, hope.
