Time to sell the Thin Mints!
Every year I dread Girl Scout cookie season and get excited about it at the same time.
As Girl Scout parents, we are asked to sell so many cookies that it's pretty burdensome. At the same time, almost no one says no when you ask them to buy.
According to Girl Scouts of South-East Florida, nine out of 10 people will buy cookies if asked. Despite the recent peanut scare and kosher-labeling problems, the flavors are so unique (think Thin Mints, Thanks-A-Lots and Samoas) and the time frame so limited ( Jan. 22 to Feb. 10), that many people stock up on their favorites so they can last into next year.
For the second year, you can also donate Cookies for the Military. Last year, more than 19,000 boxes were delivered to military personnel.

I love the cookies, and where to money goes but it is crazy what these cookie prices went up too.
The box is almost 1/2 the size it once was 20 years ago.
Love the cookies, but can no longer afford them
